Remapping Rules

Remapping Rules

Configuration map entries ([Configuration Maps]) may remap object classes and attributes to alternative names. This remapping occurs after the LDAP search operation is complete and prior to storing entries in the in-memory cache.

Classes are remapped using the dbisMapClass attribute. This takes the format <to_class>=<from_class>, for example netgroupObject=nisNetgroup will rewrite the RFC2307 nisNetgroup class to the DBIS netgroupObject class.

Attributes are remapped using dbisMapAttr. It takes the format <to_attr>=<from_attr>, for example en=cn will rewrite the en attribute (case insensitive, as used by RFC2307) to the DBIS en attribute (case sensitive).

For examples, see [ConfigurationMaps-RFC2307].
