How do I map externalId / entryuuid (under "Additional LDAP Attributes") to Okta / Google Suite
Hi,
I'm trying to take our 'entryUUID' attribute from LDAP and sync it to a custom schema attribute in Google Apps. It's set as our unique identifier in the LDAP directory configuration and shows up under "Additional LDAP Attributes" on the user profile, but I can't work out how to map this to Okta. I tried "ldap_sun_one.entryuuid" and "ldap_sun_one.externalId" but I get "Invalid property".
I guess maybe it needs to be added as an attribute but I don't get any options available when trying to add an new attribute to your LDAP app.
Is it possible to do this?
Thanks.
Jeremy
Hi Jeremy,
That should be possible using a custom Okta attribute to work as the in-between LDAP and Google Apps. The workaround can be performed following these steps:
1) Go to your Okta Admin dashboard -> Directory -> Profile Editor -> Okta -> Profile -> Add Attribute
a) Set the Data type to 'string'
b) Give it whatever Display and Variable name you like
c) Save
2) Now go to Directory -> Profile Editor -> Directories -> LDAP -> Mappings -> <LDAP domain> to Okta and find the attribute we just created (it should be on the bottom of the list). Use the expression appuser.userName
3) Finally, go to Directory -> Profile Editor -> Apps -> Google Apps -> Mappings -> Okta to Google Apps and use the custom Okta attribute we created to map to the desired Google attribute using the expression user.<Variable Name>
