Use the Ad Attribute Map Profile window to configure the profile that maps Active Directory (AD) attributes to an Ad attribute identifier (index value). Using the Flexible Active Directory (AD) feature, you can configure the SBC to retrieve and store subscriber data from an AD server. The Ad attributes the SBC retrieves can be used in number manipulation, call routing, and policy processing. As you configure rules, objects, and profiles related to Flexible AD Support, you use the attribute identifiers (Ad Attribute1 to Ad Attribute32) to refer to the AD attributes to which they are mapped. You can map up to 32 AD attributes.

To View Ad Attribute Map Profiles

On the SBC main screen, go to All > Profiles > Ad Attribute Map Profile. The Ad Attribute Map Profile window opens.
