The IDS Attribute Mappings page defines the default attributes that will be used for an IDS connection between the directory server user data fields, for instance Active Directory, and the MiCollab server user data fields. It allows you to map the corporate directory service user data fields to the MiCollab data fields. MiCollab uses the connection and attribute mappings to
write user data and corporate contacts from Active Directory into the MiCollab database,
write corporate contacts from Active Directory, MiVoice 5000 LDAP directory service, or MiVoice 5000 Manager (AM7450) directory service into the MiCollab Client corporate directory, or
support access to an external LDAP directory database for directory searches from MiCollab Clients.
