Step 4: Create the AD-SQL User Profile Definition

  • Article

You use the AD User Object data object to create your custom profile definition. This profile definition will collect user profile information. Most of the properties will be mapped to a SQL Server database. The user name and password will be mapped to Active Directory.

You create this multiple-source profile by selecting the properties you want and mapping them to data members from different data sources.

To create a new profile definition

  1. Expand Commerce Server Manager, expand Global Resources, expand Profiles, expand Profile Catalog, expand Data Sources, expand ProfileService_ADSource, expand Data Objects, right-click AD User Object, point to New, and then click New Profile.

  2. In the New Profile Definition dialog box, do the following:

    Use this To do this
    Name Type AD_SQL_User.
    Display Name Type AD-SQL User.
    Description Type User profile definition using AD and SQL sources.

    The following figure shows the New Profile Definition dialog box.

  4. In the Custom Attributes dialog box, click Finish. (No custom attributes are created for this example.)

The new profile definition appears in the list of available profile definitions in Commerce Server Manager.
