Would changes on LDAP display name have any impact on the Jazz tools ?
RTC/RRC 4.0.6 on Windows:
We import users from LDAP. We have changes on selected user display names. Would these changes have any impact on the Jazz tools?
We notice that JTS import users' 3 fields; ID, display name, email address; from LDAP.
We just wonder:
- If there are occasional resync between the JTS and LDAP ?
- If so, Would the changes have any impact ?
Accepted answer
Hi Truong,
By changing on display names, I assume you meant changing the 'name' mapping of the 'User Property Names Mapping' properties in JTS.
User Property Names Mapping: userId=uid,name=cn,emailAddress=mail
Would the changes have any impact?
The above change will update user's display name in JTS to the value from the new LDAP attribute that you changed to. The new value should be reflected after LDAP sync process is run (see more details in the link below). Generally, the mappings of 'name' and 'emailAddress' can be changed at anytime. UserId should remain the same or change with caution.
If there are occasional resync between the JTS and LDAP?
Yes, see
