Select Attributes to Sync with Directory
When you set up the Directories Management directory to sync with Active Directory, you specify the user
attributes that sync to the directory. Before you set up the directory, you can specify on the User Attributes
page which default attributes are required and, if you want, add additional attributes that you want to map
to Active Directory attributes.
When you configure the User Attributes page before the directory is created, you can change default
attributes from required to not required, mark attributes as required, and add custom attributes.
For a list of the default mapped attributes, see Managing User Attributes that Sync from Active Directory.
After the directory is created, you can change a required attribute to not be required, and you can delete
custom attributes. You cannot change an attribute to be a required attribute.
When you add other attributes to sync to the directory, after the directory is created, go to the directory's
Mapped Attributes page to map these attributes to Active Directory Attributes.
