12.3 Extending the Schema for Data Synchronization

For collecting data from OpenText Directory Services and mapping the data to the OpenText Identity Governance catalog, you must configure your LDAP system, for example, Active Directory, as a synchronized partition in OpenText Directory Services. In some scenarios you might need to extend the schema of your LDAP system to accommodate additional attributes. For example, if you want to synchronize xECM’s two permissions supplementalMarking and securityClearance from OpenText Directory Services to xECM through your LDAP system, in this case Active Directory, then you need to extend the schema.
