Certain attributes are configured to be made available to platforms by default. You can add additional attributes to be provisioned to platforms if necessary. For a list of the attributes configured by default, see Platform Attributes.
To configure additional attributes, you must add them to the Identity Manager Subscriber filter. For details about adding attributes to the Subscriber filter, see the Novell Identity Manager Administration Guide. The attribute names that you use in the Subscriber filter must be the eDirectory™ names. The attribute names presented to the Platform Receiver are the eDirectory names.
If you are using attributes on an IBM i platform, you may need to map attribute names to their Profile and System Distribution Directory field names. This is done using the Attribute Name Mapping file. For more information about the Attribute Name Mapping file, see The Attribute Name Mapping File.
