Configuring LDAP Fields

IPFX Directory Sync

LDAP fields need to be chosen now to select what data is used to send to the IPFX CTServer.

To do this – click on the LDAP Fields button the following screen will be shown.

AdsPath is the default but this should be replaced with ObjectGUID. This value is required for the system to work – it is used to create a unique link or marker between the two systems.

At this stage – the fields from LDAP that are required to be matched to the IPFX CTServer system are configured.

  • To add a field

Click on New, choose the source field eg givenname, give it a display name (optional) eg vFirstname

Keep repeating this until all the required LDAP fields are configured eg

The Translations tab can be used to convert values the system finds in the LDAP field into something else eg departments in LDAP are in text, departments in IPFX are by number. We need to translate LDAP departments to their matching numbers in IPFX.

Note The translation numbers are dependant on how IPFX CTServer is configured.

Once all the fields are chosen – click on Close.
