Horizon 7.4 and later versions let you import borrower-specific information stored in a directory on an LDAP server to borrower tables in your Horizon database. This feature is useful for your library if you authenticate borrowers using an LDAP server and you want to use borrower data stored in the directory.
Before you can import data, you must set up a profile for each directory from which you want to import data. This profile specifies the connection to the LDAP server, as well as the context to which you want to bind.
For each profile, you map borrower columns from tables in the Horizon database to attributes in the LDAP directory schema. Once attributes from the LDAP directory are accurately mapped to borrower columns, any changes to borrower data on the LDAP server can automatically be updated in the Horizon database borrower table each time the Borrower LDAP (DeBLDAP) Day End process runs.
This section explains these topics:
• | Setting Up an LDAP Directory Profile |
• | Mapping LDAP Schema Attributes to Horizon Borrower Table Columns |
• | Defining Match Point Indexes |
• | Setting Up the DEBLDAP Day End Process |
