NEW   Mapping the user information properties

By default, ADSyncUsers.exe uses a default mapping of Active Directory user properties to Meridian user properties. You can map the Meridian properties to different Active Directory properties by specifying the property mappings in the ADSyncUsersConfig.ini file.

To edit the user property mapping:

1. Open ADSyncUsersConfig.ini in any text editor. It is located in the same folder as the program.
2. Find or create the FieldMapping section in the file. The section heading is followed by lines that each specify a Meridian user property name and its corresponding Active Directory property name.
3. Change the Meridian property name on the left side of the line or change the Active Directory property name on the right side of the line.

4. Save your changes and close the file.

Following is an example of the default property mappings that are used if they are not specified explicitly in ADSyncUsersConfig.ini.

[FieldMapping]
WorkList=ADEMail
Account=ADPrincipalName
Description=ADDescription
DisplayName=ADFullName
Title=ADpersonalTitle
Initials=ADInitials
EMail=ADEMail
Address=ADComputedAddress
OrgUnit=ADDepartment

Note    The Active Directory properties that are available to be specified in the mapping are listed in the following table. Not all of the properties are available to be mapped and the names are different than those of the actual Active Directory user object properties.

Note    The property ADComputedAddress is the concatenation of the other address properties (ADStreetAddress + ADPostOfficeBox + ADCity + ADState + ADPostalCode + ADCountry).

If a Meridian property is not specified in a mapping or the name is specified incorrectly, the property will not be synchronized. If an Active Directory property is specified incorrectly, the default mapping will be used.
