Importing Organizational-Structure Data from LDAP
FlexNet Manager for Engineering Applications enables you to import the organizational and user data for an organizational structure from a defined LDAP domain. Prior to importing the LDAP data, you must associate the organizational structure with an LDAP domain, and map the domain attributes to specific levels in the organizational structure. You must import report logs before importing data from LDAP.
LDAP Data Import Process
The process for importing organizational-structure data from LDAP is as follows:
| 1. | Create an organizational structure. Only one mapping can be defined per organizational structure. |
| 2. | Define any custom user attributes that you require. Custom user attributes enable you to provide user information that is specific to your enterprise. |
| 3. | Add an LDAP domain association and map domain attributes to levels in the organizational structure, then test the mapping for a specified user. |
| 4. | Import report logs. The LDAP import will import only the users found in previously imported report logs. |
| 5. | Import LDAP organizational-structure data on demand or set up a schedule for LDAP data import using the Periodic Aggregation scheduler. |
After LDAP data is imported, the attribute–organizational structure mapping cannot be changed. You can, however, change the user attribute mappings.
