Environment

ZENworks Asset Management 11.4
ZENworks Configuration Management 11.4 Inventory
ZENworks Configuration Management 2017 Inventory

Situation

AD User source with User Login Syntax applied with the cn= may cause LDAP Mapping issues;
-LDAP fields are Blank when Mapping fields in ZCC
-LDAP Fields may not be visible

Resolution

ZENworks User Source and Authentication Reference Documentation recommends specific syntax depending on the user source.
For Novell eDirectory access, use standard LDAP notation. For example: cn=admin_read_only,ou=users,o=mycompany

For Microsoft Active Directory, use standard domain notation. For example:
AdminReadOnly@mycompany.com

For DSfW, use standard LDAP notation. For example:
cn=admin_read_only,ou=users,dc=mycompany, dc=com
