For all three options, URL must be one of the following:
• A URL of the following format:
file://[ path /] filename
The file must be on the local file system.
• An RFC 2255-compliant LDAP URL that specifies a base-level search and an attribute list
consisting of a single attribute description for a singled-valued attribute type.
Using XML Rules
The Novell Import Conversion Export conversion rules use the same XML format as Novell Nsure
Identity Manager. For more information on Novell Nsure Identity Manager, see the
Novell Nsure
Identity Manager Administration Guide (http://www.novell.com/documentation/dirxml20/
index.html) .
Schema Mapping Rules
The <attr-name-map> element is the top-level element for the schema mapping rules. Mapping rules
determine how the import schema interacts with the export schema. They associate specified import
class definitions and attributes with corresponding definitions in the export schema.
Mapping rules can be set up for attribute names or class names.
• For an attribute mapping, the rule must specify that it is an attribute mapping, a name space
(nds-name is the tag for the source name), the name in the eDirectory name space, then the
other name space (app-name is the tag for the destination name) and the name in that name
space. It can specify that the mapping applies to a specific class or it can be applied to all
classes with the attribute.
• For a class mapping, the rule must specify that it is a class mapping rule, a name space
(eDirectory or the application), the name in that name space, then the other name space and the
name in that name space.
The following is the formal DTD definition of schema mapping rules:
<!ELEMENT attr-name-map (attr-name | class-name)*>
<!ELEMENT attr-name (nds-name, app-name)>
<!ATTLIST attr-name
class-name CDATA #IMPLIED>
<!ELEMENT class-name (nds-name, app-name)>
<!ELEMENT nds-name (#PCDATA)>
