Creating SPML Connectors

To create an SPML Connector:

  1. Launch the Adaxes Administration Console.

  2. In the Console Tree, expand your service node (the icon represents service nodes).

  3. Right-click any object under the expanded service node, point to New, and then click SPML Connector.

    -or-

    Click on the toolbar.

  4. In the SPML Connector Creation wizard that starts, type a name and optional description for the new SPML Connector.

    [Tip]Tip

    If you do not need this SPML Connector to be effective immediately after its creation, clear the Enabled check box.

  5. Click Next.

  6. Specify URI of the SPML Provider you need.

  7. Optionally, specify the SPML Provider Adapter. This SPML Provider Adapter will regulate the interaction between Softerra Adaxes and the SPML provider taking into account the specifics of the provider.

  8. Type the credentials that will be used to log on to the SPML service and select the type of authentication.

    [Tip]Tip
    The list of available authentication types depends on the selected SPML Provider Adapter.

  9. Click Next.

  10. Select one of the targets maintained by the specified SPML Provider, and click Next. All SPML requests sent by the new SPML Connector will be addressed to the selected target.

    [Tip]Tip
    If the specified SPML Provider has one target only, this page will be omitted.

  11. In the SPML Schema Mapping page, specify the mapping between the AD schema and SPML schema.

    • In the SPML Objet Types box, select the SPML object type you want to map to an AD object type.

      [Tip]Tip
      If an SPML object type is unchecked, the schema mapping for this SPML type will not be saved.

    • In the AD object type drop-down list, select the AD object type you want to map to the selected SPML object type. When an operation is performed on this object type in Active Directory, the SPML Connector will send an SPML request for the corresponding SPML object type.

    • In the Property for PSO ID drop-down list, select the AD property to store the PSO ID that uniquely identifies AD objects of the specified type in the SPML provider target. If the Property for PSO ID is not specified, SPML requests will not be sent for this type of objects.

      [Caution]Caution
      When the PSO ID is changed by an SPML request, the SPML connector updates this property in AD.
    [Tip]Tip
    You can import and export schema mapping from/to a file. To do so, click Import Mapping or Export Mapping below.

  12. Click Next.

  13. In the Activity Scope page, specify managed AD domains you want the new SPML Connector to be effective for. The SPML Connector will send SPML requests, when operations are performed on the AD objects located in the specified AD domains only.

  14. Click Finish.
