Lotus Domino Administrator 8.5 Help - Mapping Active Directory fields and groups with Domino Directory fields and groups

ADMINISTRATION TOOLS

Mapping Active Directory fields and groups with Domino Directory fields and groups
Use the Field Mappings tab and the Group Mappings tab on the Lotus ADSync Options dialog box to map specific Active Directory fields and groups to IBM® Lotus® Domino® Person and Group document fields. Person and Group documents are stored in the Domino Directory. Mapping is different for the two Field Mapping object classes, "User" and "Group."

You can modify any of the initial mappings, create mappings, or create IBM® Lotus® Notes® field names. When an Active Directory object is created or is synchronized with Notes, all field values in the mapped Active Directory object are copied to corresponding fields in the Person or Group document in the Domino Directory. If necessary, fields are created in the Person or Group document and existing field values are overwritten. This is one-way synchronization. No changes are made to the Active Directory object.

Field Mappings in ADSync, unlike other settings, are different for each Active Directory domain.

To create group mappings

1. From the MMC, choose Domino Directory Synchronization.

2. Click Group Mappings.

3. Complete these mappings as necessary, and then click Apply and OK.

Security Click to assign a group type when registering security groups in Notes. Choose one:

Multi-purpose -- Use for a group that has multiple purposes, for example, mail and ACLs.
Mail only -- Use for mailing list groups.
Access Control List only -- Use for server and database access authentication only.
Deny List only -- Use to control access to servers. Deny List only is typically used to prevent terminated employees from accessing servers, but this type of group can be used to prevent any user from accessing particular servers. The Administration Process cannot delete any member from this group.

Distribution Click to assign a group type when registering distribution groups in Notes. Choose one:

Multi-purpose -- Use for a group that has multiple purposes -- for example, mail and ACLs.
Mail only -- Use for mailing list groups.
Access Control List only -- Use for server and database access authentication only.
Deny List only -- Use to control access to servers. Deny List only is typically used to prevent terminated employees from accessing servers, but this type of group can be used to prevent any user from accessing particular servers. The Administration Process cannot delete any member from this group.

To create field mappings

1. From the MMC, choose Domino Directory Synchronization.

2. To create field mappings, click Field Mappings.

3. Choose either User or Group in the "Field mappings for Object class" field.

4. Scroll through the In Active Directory list until you locate the Active Directory field that you are mapping to a Domino Directory field.

5. Right-click the corresponding In Domino Directory field (it may appear blank). An editable field appears. Enter the field name or select one from the list.

6. Continue this process until you have mapped as many fields as needed.

7. Click Apply and OK.

To allow the new fields to display in the dialog box, close and then restart the Microsoft Management Console. The new fields appear.
