Auto Mapping of Active Directory Providers

If more than one Active Directory provider is mapped to one Repository then by default, mapping will happen between the active directory providers based on the Display Name property. If user does not want the mapping, then uncheck the Auto Mapping flag from Repository Provider Search page for the User Entity.

By default, the entry in the Properties column of the SKRepository table

<property key="AutoMapActiveDirectoryProviders"><![CDATA[True]]></property>

1. Log on to the Central Configuration.

2. Click Repository-Provider List. The Repository-Provider List page is displayed with the list of repositories name.
