Examples of Mapping
Listed below are samples of common mappings. Note that the exact text of these
rules will vary based on your needs.
Sample Mapping: Multiple Locations
In this example, an LDAP directory server has an organizational hierarchy split
between two office locations: Melbourne and Detroit. The Google Apps org unit
hierarchy will match the same hierarchy.
First Rule:
• (LDAP) DN: ou=melbourne,dc=ad,dc=example,dc=com
• (Google Apps) Name: Melbourne
Second Rule:
• (LDAP) DN: ou=detroit,dc=ad,dc=example,dc=com
• (Google Apps) Name: Detroit
Sample Mapping with Exceptions: Departments
In this example, an LDAP directory server has an organizational hierarchy split
based on different departments: Sales, HR, Support, Marketing, IT and
Executives. Most of the Google Apps org unit hierarchy will match the same
hierarchy, under the Users group, but the IT team will synchronize to the root org
unit, and Executives will synchronize to a separate org unit
First Rule (general case for most OUs):
• (LDAP) DN: ou=users,dc=ad,dc=example,dc=com
• (Google Apps) Name: Users
Second Rule (exception for IT):
• (LDAP) DN: ou=it,ou=users,dc=ad,dc=example,dc=com
• (Google Apps) Name: /
Third Rule (exception for Executives):
• (LDAP) DN: ou=executives,ou=users,dc=ad,dc=example,dc=com
• (Google Apps) Name: Executives
