Table8-5 Elements for Attributes Management
Element 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 ActiveDirectory 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 ActiveDirectory servers use for this purpose. When the values
for these attributes differ on your ActiveDirectory server or when you prefer to import objects
that use other ActiveDirectory attributes, you can edit the values in this column.
Valu es t o U se b y
Default
Enter text to insert automatically when the value is blank for the corresponding attribute in an
ActiveDirectory 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—suc h 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
Control Flags
Tells DMM to ignore whether your Active Directory server makes use of the User Account
Control Flags attribute. DMM expects to find this attribute on your ActiveDirectory 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
ActiveDirectory servers use. If you entered different values manually because the labels for
these attributes differ on your ActiveDirectory server or because you prefer to import user
accounts that use other ActiveDirectory attributes, DMS-Admin deletes what you entered.
Update Saves and applies your work in the Manage Attributes property sheet.
