Database or LDAP Fields

Introduction

This section outlines the necessary steps for mapping request fields to database or

LDAP fields. Most probably, field names of existing databases or LDAP applications

differ from the request field names defined in Ascent Capture or Ascent Xtrata Pro.

names and thus enable it to process data from your existing data store.

Note

The field names are case-sensitive.

Configuration

X To map request fields to LDAP fields, change the configuration file

bis_ldapfieldmapping.xml, usually located in C:\Program Files\Kofax\Business

Interaction Server\Avalin\Jboss\server\avalin\conf.
