A custom Sourcedef file allows you to change certain aspects of how the sync will Query the source ldap directory for this connection.  Sourcedef files are directory type specific (i.e. an Ex55 sourcedef is not interchangeable with an AD sourcedef.)

Modifications to the Sourcedef should be done carefully as a misconfigured sourcedef may break your  connection.  It is recommended you contact support@dirwiz.com for assistance.

The most common use for a Custom Sourcedef file is to customize the Attribs= parameter to add custom/expanded attributes.  Attribs= defines all attributes that will be pulled from the  source directory for this connection.

Creating a Custom Sourcedef File

  1. From the UnitySync Sync Manager UI, select your connection, then click the Custom Map tab.
  2. Enter a name in the Sourcedef  parameter, then click Create.
  3. Make the necessary changes to the Sourcedef file. (Contact support@dirwiz.com if you need assistance.)
  4. Click Save to save your map file changes.
  5. Click Apply to save the name of the custom sourcedef file on the Custom Map tab.
