How to specify user creation or modification rules using a CSV file in ADManager Plus.
In ADManager Plus, the rules specified in user creation or modification templates help auto-fill attributes of user accounts that are being created or modified using that template.
Instead of configuring these rules one after the other, you can directly import these user creation or modification rules using a CSV file.
Specifying user creation or modification rules via a CSV:
Following are the CSV headers and their corresponding values that need to be included in the CSV file for importing the rules:
CSV Header | Description | Supported Values |
ruleName | Name of the rule | Standard Name |
ldapName | LDAP name of the attributes | Attributes listed in user creation rules or user modification drop-down button |
matchCriteriaId | Relation between ldapName and value | 1 - is 2 - contains (for memberOf) 6 - Starts with (for lastName and displayName) |
processMatchCriteria | Condition field value | or - OR operation and - AND operation |
isCondition | Whether the LDAP matching is a condition or an assignment | true - is a condition false - is an assignment |
value | Value | Corresponding values for LDAP name. Multiple values must be separated by a semicolon (;). Multiple line values must be supported by double quotes ("). |
Here is a sample CSV file that can be used for this purpose.
NOTE: Pre-defined rules of a specific template will be replaced by the rules that are imported to that template using a CSV.
