3.4.2.1. Configuring Mapping Parameters

In order to successfully route connection on either of the supported protocols, SMTP, POP or IMAP, system administrators need to set mapping parameters. The easiest and most intuitive way of setting mapping parameters is through WebAdmin, AXIGEN's web-based administration interface.

In the User Maps page you can add and configure a list of User Maps at server level. In order to do so, system administrators should access Clustering > Clustering Setup > User Maps page and hit the "Add User Map" button.

For each new user map, the following parameters are available: name, type (Local file, LDAP Password, LDAP Bind) and, as the case may be , either file location or defined LDAP Connectors. For details on how to set these parameters, see User Maps.
