Follow this task to configure an entry mapping repository
that is used to store data for managing profiles on multiple repositories.
About this task
An
entry-level join means that the federated repository
configuration uses multiple repositories simultaneously and recognizes
the entries in the different repositories as entries representing
distinct entities. For example, a company might have a Lightweight
Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) directory that contains entries for
its employees and a database that contains entries for business partners
and customers. By configuring an entry mapping repository, a federated
repository configuration can use both the LDAP and the database at
the same time. The federated repository configuration hierarchy and
constraints for identifiers provide the aggregated namespace for both
of those repositories and prevent identifiers from colliding.
When
you configure an entry mapping repository, you can supply a valid
data source, a direct connection configuration, or both. The system
first tries to connect by way of the data source. If the data source
is not available, then the system uses the direct access configuration.
Restriction: You cannot configure an entry mapping repository
in a mixed-version deployment manager cell.
Results
After completing these steps, your federated repository configuration,
which includes an entry mapping repository, is configured.
