Add and Edit LDAP Attribute Map Dialog Boxes
Use the Add and Edit LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) Attribute Map dialog boxes to
populate the attribute map with name mappings that translate Cisco LDAP attribute names to custom,
user-defined attribute names.
If you are introducing a security appliance to an existing LDAP directory, your existing custom LDAP
attribute names and values are probably different from the Cisco attribute names and values. Rather than
renaming your existing attributes, you can create LDAP attribute maps that map your custom attribute
names and values to Cisco attribute names and values. By using simple string substitution, the security
appliance then presents you with only your own custom names and values. You can then bind these
attribute maps to LDAP servers or remove them as needed. You can also delete entire attribute maps or
remove individual name and value entries.
For more information regarding LDAP support on ASA, PIX, and FWSM devices, see Additional AAA
Support on ASA, PIX, and FWSM Devices, page 6-26.
Navigation Path
Select Manage > Policy Objects, then select LDAP Attribute Map from the Object Type selector.
