Defining Match Point Indexes

The Borrower Import from LDAP feature uses the Borrower Import function to add borrowers to your Horizon database. Borrower Import uses indexes in the borrower table as match points to determine if borrower data already exists on the database. These match points eliminate duplicate borrower information.

The Horizon 7.4 upgrade added a new “borrower_dn” index column to the borrower table. When you import new borrowers to the Horizon database from an LDAP directory, a unique domain name is stored in the borrower_dn index column for each borrower you import. This domain name acts as an identifier for each borrower.

In order for Borrower Import from LDAP to determine a match point for existing borrowers that do not have a borrower domain name, you can choose to match on additional indexes in the borrower table. You can choose to match on indexes such as second_id, borrower#, and so forth.

To define match point indexes

1 In the Borrower-LDAP Column Maps window, click the Match button.

Horizon displays the Borrower-LDAP Define Match Point Columns window:

2 Follow these steps as you define match points for the mapped columns:

You cannot use mapped columns that contain constant values as match points.
