Description

 

 

DMM Attribute Name

Values that DMS-Admin uses to describe and identify various attributes that it associates with

 

each user account. You cannot change the values in this column. They are for your reference

 

only, to help you enter suitable values (and recognize suitable values when you see them) in

 

the LDAP Attribute Name column and the Values to Use by Default column.

 

 

LDAP Attribute Name

Values that your Active Directory server uses — which correspond one-to-one with values in

 

the DMM Attribute Row column — to describe and identify attributes of each user account. In

 

its factory-default configuration, DMS-Admin prepopulates all fields in this column with the

 

most commonplace values that Active Directory servers use for this purpose. When the values

 

for these attributes differ on your Active Directory server or when you prefer to import objects

 

that use other Active Directory attributes, you can edit the values in this column.

 

 

Values to Use by

Enter text to insert automatically when the value is blank for the corresponding attribute in an

Default

Active Directory user account that you import or synchronize. To ensure that DMS-Admin

 

imports each valid user account that matches a filter, we recommend that you enter values for

 

these attributes:

 

First Name

 

Last Name

 

For your convenience, you can also enter values to insert automatically when the values are

 

blank for other attributes — such as Company, Department, or Phone Number — but this

 

is optional.

 

Note

You cannot enter a value to use by default as the Login User Name value.

 

 

Ignore User Account

NEW IN CISCO DMS 5.2.3 Tells DMM to ignore whether your Active Directory server makes use

Control Flags

of the User Account Control Flags attribute. DMM expects to find this attribute on your

 

Active Directory server and, when the attribute is not present, authentication fails.

 

 

 

Command Buttons

 

 

 

 

Reset to Factory Default

Returns all values in the LDAP Attribute Name column to the most commonplace values that

 

Active Directory servers use. If you entered different values manually because the labels for

 

these attributes differ on your Active Directory server or because you prefer to import user

 

accounts that use other Active Directory attributes, DMS-Admin deletes what you entered.

 

 

Update

Saves and applies your work in the Manage Attributes property sheet.
