Map LDAP Account Attributes to EFT User Account Details
EFT makes it easy to map LDAP attributes to the associated account on an LDAP Site in EFT.
In EFT, the account-specific details associated with a particular user, such as phone number, pager, and email address, are configured on the Details tab of a selected user account. Some of these fields (such as the email address) can be used in other areas (such as the Event Rules) to notify the user of a completed transaction. Three Custom fields and Comments field are available for additional details.
EFT provides the LDAP Authentication Advanced Options dialog box in which you can specify the attributes from the LDAP server to populate the User Account Details.
