CentraSite Administrator's Guide : Configuring CentraSite : Configuring User Authentication and Repositories : User Authentication Configurations : Mapping User and Group Fields
Mapping User and Group Fields
When you specify an authentication configuration, you specify the correlation between properties stored in the CentraSite JAXR-based model for the object type User and properties stored in the external user repository.
The JAXR-based properties stored in CentraSite for the object type User are organized according to the following structure:
description
organization
personName
firstName
middleName
lastName
fullName
postalAddresses
postalAddress
street
streetNumber
postalCode
city
stateOrProvince
country
postalScheme
emailAddresses
emailAddress
address
telephoneNumbers
telephoneNumber
countryCode
areaCode
number
extension
url
URL
The mappings are used in CentraSite Control when you create a new CentraSite user and wish to associate the user with a user in the external user repository and also when you click on Synchronize for a user in the CentraSite Control. The corresponding dialog in CentraSite Control for locating the external user definition includes a search capability in which you can specify the JAXR-based mapping properties mentioned above to locate a particular user. The search mechanism translates the JAXR-based property searches into corresponding searches of the properties of the external user repository, using the mappings you define here.
Specify the mappings as required. Typically, you only specify mappings for properties that you wish to make available for searches of the external user repository. If you do not require the capability of searching the external user repository, you can leave all of the fields empty.
Note:  
User property mappings are not available for users who are stored in the internal repository.
