HP-UX Directory Server 8.1 deployment guide

• ntDomainUser corresponds to the samAccountName attribute for Active Directory entries.
User entries only.
• ntGroupType is set automatically for Windows groups that are synchronized, but must be
set manually on Directory Server entries before they are synchronized. Group entries only.
A pre-defined list of attributes are synchronized between Directory Server and Active Directory
entries. Some of these attributes are the same, like the givenName attribute in Directory Server
matches the givenName attribute in Active Directory. Because the defined schema in Active
Directory and Directory Server are slightly different, other attributes are mapped between Active
Directory and Directory Server; most of these are Windows-specific attributes in Directory Server.
7.3.1 User attributes synchronized between Directory Server and Active Directory
Only a subset of Directory Server and Active Directory attributes are synchronized. These
attributes are hardcoded and are defined regardless of which way the entry is being synchronized.
Any other attributes present in the entry, either in Directory Server or in Active Directory, remain
unaffected by synchronization.
Some attributes used in Directory Server and Active Directory are identical. These are usually
attributes defined in an LDAP standard, which are common among all LDAP services. These
attributes are synchronized to one another exactly. Table 7-2 “User schema that are the same in
Directory Server and Windows servers” shows ttributes that are the same between the Directory
Server and Windows servers.
Some attributes define the same information, but the names of the attributes or their schema
definitions are different. These attributes are mapped between Active Directory and Directory
Server, so that attribute A in one server is treated as attribute B in the other. For synchronization,
many of these attributes relate to Windows-specific information. Table 7-1 “User schema mapped
between Directory Server and Active Directory” shows the attributes that are mapped between
the Directory Server and Windows servers.
For more information on the differences in ways that Directory Server and Active Directory
handle some schema elements, see “User schema differences between Directory Server and
Active Directory”.
