How to Use the Mapping Wizard

  • Article

This version of Enterprise Single Sign-On includes the Mapping Wizard, which allows you to easily create mappings for affiliate applications.

Note

You can only use the Mapping Wizard if the External UserID is based on the Windows domain account.

To start the Mapping Wizard

  1. Open Enterprise Single Sign-On.

  2. In the scope pane, click Affiliate Applications.

  3. Right click the appropriate affiliate application.

  4. Click Create Mappings.

    The Mapping Wizard appears.

To use the Mapping Wizard

  1. Welcome to the Mapping Wizard

    • Verify that this is the correct affiliate application, and click Next.

  2. Mappings File Option page

    • ENTSSO manages mappings through an XML file. You can choose to create a new file or use an existing one.

  3. Files Location page

    • Select the files to be used.

    • You must click Validate to validate the files before proceeding. The validation status appears in the Status window.

  4. Accounts page

    • Choose one or more accounts to generate the new mappings file, and click Validate.

  5. External User Name page

    • Define how the external user name is generated from the Windows user account. As you make selections in the boxes, you can see how the names will appear in the Example box.

  6. Generate page

    • Click Start to generate the mappings file. (You will have an opportunity on the next page to view or edit the file as necessary before mappings are created.) Results are displayed in the three windows below.

    • The Number of mappings in selected accounts is an approximation, because accounts may be nested in other accounts.

    • Click View Log File to examine any errors or warnings that might have occurred.

  7. Options page

    • Your file has been created. Click View/Edit Mappings File if desired.

    • Click Enable mappings if you want the mappings to be automatically enabled. (If you do not click this, you will have to enable them manually.)

    • Click Set Password to automatically set the password for these mappings.

  8. Create page

    • Before creating the mappings, click View Mappings File if desired.

    • When you are ready, click Start to perform the mapping operation. Your status is displayed in the three boxes below.

    • Click View Log File to examine any errors or warnings that might have occurred.

  9. Completing the Mapping Wizard screen

    • Select any options desired, and then click Finish.
