Repository Property	Displays the repository property that is the target of the mapping.
Type	Identifies the source of the property: User or Group.
Map To	Displays which attributes on LDAP that the property is mapped to.
Map Type	Identifies the type of data: LDAP attribute, expressions, or a fixed constant.
Mandatory	Indicates if the mapping is mandatory for the attribute. Content Server requires three properties to be defined for a user and one property to be defined for a group. The mandatory properties are: user_name user_login_name group_name You can change the defaults, but you must provide some value or mapping for these properties. Users cannot be saved to the repository without values for these three properties, nor can a group be saved to the repository without a group name.
