When you use vRealize Suite Lifecycle Manager configure a directory to sync with Active Directory, specify the user attributes.

Before you configure the directory, specify all required default attributes. You can also add and map additional attributes for the Active Directory.

Changing the default attributes from a required to non-required and marking an attribute to be required can be done only if there are no directories created. After the directories are created and synced, they cannot be changed.

You can mark the required and non-required attributes before adding any directory in the directories page. When you add new custom attributes after the directories are created, to map them you have to edit the directory and update the directory attribute mapping. The change takes effect the next time that the directory is synced to Active Directory.
