Step 5: Add Property Groups to AD-SQL User

  • Article

To make your profile definition easier to read, you can create separate groups for your Active Directory and SQL Server properties. Before you add the SQL Server properties to your AD-SQL User profile definition, create the data groups.

To add data groups to a profile

  1. Expand Commerce Server Manager, expand Global Resources, expand Profiles, expand Profile Catalog, expand Profile Definitions, and then click AD-SQL User. The profile designer screen appears in the right pane.

  2. Click Add.

  3. In the Add -- Web Page dialog box, select Add a new group, and then click OK.

  4. In the Attributes section, do the following:

    Use this To do this
    Name Type ADGroup.
    Display Name Type Active Directory.

    The following figure shows the Attributes section.

  5. Click Apply.

  6. In the Properties list, select Active Directory, the group you just created, and then click the Up Arrow button at the bottom of the dialog box. Keep clicking it until Active Directory is moved to the top of the Properties list, above all of the properties.

  7. Click the directional arrow to the left of Active Directory so that it points down. This expands the node, and prepares the group to accept properties.

  8. Click the first property underneath Active Directory. If you followed the preceding procedures exactly, this will be the Common Name property.

  9. Click the Up Arrow button at the bottom of the dialog box. The property name appears indented under Active Directory. This places the property in the Active Directory group.

  10. For each of the remaining properties, select its name and click the Up Arrow button. Your Properties list should look similar to the following figure when all of the properties are placed in the group.

  12. In the Attributes section, do the following:

    Use this To do this
    Name Type SQLGroup.
    Display Name Type SQL Server.

    The Attributes section should look like the following figure.

  13. Click Apply.

  14. To move the SQL Server group name to the left, click the Down Arrow at the bottom of the dialog box.

The properties you added are organized in the new property groups.
