Note: this component is designated "advanced", which means that objects of this type are not expected to be created or altered in most environments. If you believe that such a change is necessary, you may want to contact support in order to understand the potential impact of that change.
The DN Mapper Plugin may be used to rewrite client requests so that references to entries below a specified DN will be mapped so that they appear to be below another DN (e.g., references to entries below o=example.com could be rewritten so that they are below dc=example,dc=com). The mapping will be applied in reverse for responses back to the client.
The DN Mapper Plugin component inherits from the Plugin

| Description | Specifies the source DN that may appear in client requests which should be remapped to the target DN. Note that the source DN must not be equal to the target DN. |
| Default Value | None |
| Allowed Values | A valid DN. |
| Multi-Valued | No |
| Required | Yes |
| Admin Action Required | None. Modification requires no further action |
| Description | Specifies the DN to which the source DN should be mapped. Note that the target DN must not be equal to the source DN. |
| Default Value | None |
| Allowed Values | A valid DN. |
| Multi-Valued | No |
| Required | Yes |
| Admin Action Required | None. Modification requires no further action |
| Description | Indicates whether DN mapping should be applied to the values of attributes with appropriate syntaxes. |
| Default Value | true |
| Allowed Values | true false |
| Multi-Valued | No |
| Required | Yes |
| Admin Action Required | None. Modification requires no further action |
| Description | Specifies a set of specific attributes for which DN mapping should be applied. This will only be applicable if the enable-attribute-mapping property has a value of "true". Any attributes listed must be defined in the server schema with either the distinguished name syntax or the name and optional UID syntax. |
| Default Value | If no specific map attributes are defined but attribute mapping is enabled, then all attributes with a distinguished name or name and optional UID syntax will be examined to determine if any mapping is required. |
| Allowed Values | The name or OID of an attribute type defined in the server schema. |
| Multi-Valued | Yes |
| Required | No |
| Admin Action Required | None. Modification requires no further action |
| Description | Indicates whether DN mapping should be applied to DNs that may be present in specific controls. DN mapping will only be applied for control types which are specifically supported by the DN mapper plugin. |
| Default Value | true |
| Allowed Values | true false |
| Multi-Valued | No |
| Required | Yes |
| Admin Action Required | None. Modification requires no further action |
| Description | Indicates whether DNs in response messages containing the target DN should always be remapped back to the source DN. If this is "false", then mapping will be performed for a response message only if one or more elements of the associated request are mapped. Otherwise, the mapping will be performed for all responses regardless of whether the mapping was applied to the request. |
| Default Value | false |
| Allowed Values | true false |
| Multi-Valued | No |
| Required | Yes |
| Admin Action Required | None. Modification requires no further action |
