The user account properties in Meridian Enterprise Server are not the same as the user account fields in Active Directory. Moreover, you might want to use an alternative AD field for the Meridian Enterprise property value, for example, the AD Personal Title field for the Meridian Enterprise Title property instead of the AD Job Title field. Or, you might want to not use all of the AD fields. Meridian Enterprise Server lets you specify which and how AD user fields are mapped to Meridian Enterprise user properties.
To map Meridian Enterprise user properties to AD fields:
-
In Meridian Enterprise Server Administration Console, in the System Management group, click USER MANAGEMENT.
The Users page appears and lists the existing user accounts.
-
In the menu, click IMPORT.
The Import User Groups page appears.
-
In the page header, click FIELD MAPPINGS.
The list of current field mappings appears. Active Directory fields that have not yet been mapped to a Meridian Enterprise property appear in red text.
-
To filter the list of field names, type the beginning of the field name in the filter box and then press Enter or click the filter icon
. The list is filtered on the text that you typed.
-
Map the AD fields to Meridian Enterprise properties.
