In this section:
Use the Ad Attribute List window to add, edit, or delete Ad Attribute List objects which are components within Ad Attribute Map Profiles. Ad Attribute Map Profiles map Active Directory (AD) attributes to an Ad attribute identifier (index value). You can map up to 32 AD attributes. 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.
To View Ad Attribute List Objects
On the SBC main screen, go to All > Profiles > Ad Attribute Map Profile > Ad Attribute List. The Ad Attribute List window opens.
