Details
Credentials that are not saved are cleared from memory when the
ZENworks Server is restarted. If you are creating a scheduled
import task, you should save the credentials to ensure that they are
still available when the import task is performed.
The Map Fields page displays the LDAP directory fields on the left
and ZENworks Inventory fields on the right. The ZENworks
Inventory Fields list displays:
A small subset of possibly hundreds of classes defined in your
LDAP source, showing only those relevant to ZENworks Asset
Inventory.
All the Workstation and User administrator-defined fields.
The Key option lets you define a key assignment for the LDAP
Import task. You must define a key assignment for each task to
uniquely identify the mapped fields. You can define only one key for
each task.
Key is a unique value that is assigned by mapping an LDAP field to
a unique ZENworks Inventory field. When a task runs, the key field
is searched for the stored key value. If the key is unique, the data
from the specified LDAP fields is imported to the specified
ZENworks Inventory fields. If the key is not unique, only the first hit
is selected for mapping, which might result in incorrect mappings.
To define a key assignment:
1. In the LDAP Fields list, locate the field.
2. In the ZENworks Inventory Fields list, select a corresponding
key field from a similar class.
All workstation-based LDAP fields can be mapped only to the
ZENworks Inventory fields belonging to a Device class.
Similarly, all user-based LDAP fields can be mapped only to
the ZENworks Inventory fields belonging to a User class. Thus,
you need to create two independent tasks for workstation- and
user-based fields.
For example, while importing data from Active Directory, you
want to define a key for the LDAP field called name belonging
to a computer class (which is unique across the organization),
you can select the ZENworks Inventory field called Machine
Name belonging to a Device class.
3. Click Key.
After you define a key, "= [LDAP Fields class] / [LDAP Fields
name]" is appended to the selected ZENworks Inventory field.
For example, if you want to define the LDAP field called name
belonging to a computer class and the ZENworks Inventory
field called Machine Name belonging to a Device class as the
key fields, the Inventory Device class Machine Name field
changes to Machine Name = computer / name.
