For this procedure, in Management Agent Designer, on the Select Anchor Attributes page, you must specify a unique and immutable attribute or attribute combination for each object type. This anchor attribute is used to correctly identify an object for safe management of the object and its attributes. The anchor attribute selected must be a single-value attribute or a multi-value attribute with only one value in use. To complete this procedure, you must be logged on as a member of the FIMSyncAdmins security group.

For Sun ONE Directory Server 5.1, anchor attributes for each object type are automatically selected and you cannot change them. |
