17-10 Oracle Fusion Middleware Administrators Guide for Oracle Directory Integration Platform Mapping rules govern the way data is transformed when a source directory and a destination directory are synchronized. Customize the default mapping rules found in the sample profiles when you need to do the following: ■ Change distinguished name mappings. The distinguished name mappings establish how the third-party directory DIT maps to the Oracle Internet Directory DIT. ■ Change the attributes that need to be synchronized. ■ Change the transformations mapping rules that occur during the synchronization. You can perform any mapping if the resulting data in the destination directory conforms to the schema in that directory. Once you have established a working synchronization between Oracle Internet Directory and a third-party directory, you can customize the attribute mapping rules for your synchronization profiles to meet the needs of your deployment. To customize the attribute mapping rules for your synchronization profiles: 1. Make a duplicate of the sample mapping rules file. The sample mapping rules files are stored in the ORACLE_HOMEldapodiconf directory with the extension of map.master for the various profiles. 2. Edit the sample mapping rules file to make the previously discussed modifications. You can find instructions for editing mapping rules in Configuring Mapping Rules on page 6-3. 3. After the changes are made, use the update operation of the manageSyncProfiles command to update the profile. For example, the following command updates a profile name myImportProfile with a properties file named myPropertiesFile: manageSyncProfiles update -profile profile_name -file myPropertiesFile

4. Wait until the scheduling interval has elapsed, and then check the synchronized

users and groups to ensure that the attribute mapping rules meet your requirements. Note: When a synchronization is underway, it relies on the mapping rules configured prior to any changes in the directory. To ensure consistent mapping, you may need to remove an already synchronized entry or perform a full synchronization.
