<div><p>Use this example to learn how the search flow works for a lookup
operation that returns a target user identity from specific identifier associations
based on the known Kerberos principal.</p>
<p>In Figure 12, an administrator wants to map a Windows<sup>®</sup> user in a Windows Active
Directory registry to an i5/OS™ user profile. Kerberos is the authentication
method that Windows uses and the name of the Windows Active
Directory registry as the administrator defined it in EIM is <samp class="codeph">Desktops</samp>.
The user identity that the administrator wants to map from is a Kerberos principal
named <samp class="codeph">jsday</samp>. The name of the i5/OS registry as the administrator defined
it in EIM is <samp class="codeph">System_C</samp> and the user identity that the administrator
wants to map to is a user profile named <samp class="codeph">JOHND</samp>.</p>
<div class="p">The administrator creates an EIM identifier named <samp class="codeph">John Day</samp>.
He then adds two associations to this EIM identifier:<ul><li>A source association for the Kerberos principal named <samp class="codeph">jsday</samp> in
the <samp class="codeph">Desktops</samp> registry.</li>
<li>A target association for the i5/OS user profile named <samp class="codeph">JOHND</samp> in
the <samp class="codeph">System_C</samp> registry.</li>
</ul>
</div>
<p><strong>Figure 12:</strong> EIM lookup operation returns a target user identity from
specific identifier associations based on the known Kerberos principal <samp class="codeph">jsday</samp> </p>
<p><br /><img src="rzalv505.gif" alt="Example 2. A lookup operation returns a target user identity from specific identifier associations" /><br /></p>
<div class="p">This configuration allows a mapping lookup operation to map from the Kerberos
principal to the i5/OS user
profile as follows:
<div class="tablenoborder"><table cellpadding="4" cellspacing="0" summary="" frame="border" border="1" rules="all"><thead align="left"><tr><th valign="top" id="d0e92">Source user identity and registry</th>
<th valign="top" id="d0e94">---&gt;</th>
<th valign="top" id="d0e96">EIM identifier</th>
<th valign="top" id="d0e98">---&gt;</th>
<th valign="top" id="d0e100">Target user identity</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody><tr><td valign="top" headers="d0e92 "><samp class="codeph">jsday</samp> in <samp class="codeph">Desktops</samp> registry</td>
<td valign="top" headers="d0e94 ">---&gt;</td>
<td valign="top" headers="d0e96 ">John Day</td>
<td valign="top" headers="d0e98 ">---&gt;</td>
<td valign="top" headers="d0e100 "><samp class="codeph">JOHND</samp> (in <samp class="codeph">System_C</samp> registry)</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
</div>
</div>
<p>The lookup operation search flows in this manner:</p>
<ol><li>The user <samp class="codeph">jsday</samp> logs on and authenticates to Windows by
means of his Kerberos principal in the Windows Active Directory registry <samp class="codeph">Desktops</samp>. </li>
<li>The user opens iSeries™ Navigator to access data on <samp class="codeph">System_C</samp>.</li>
<li>i5/OS uses
an EIM API to perform an EIM lookup operation with a source user identity
of <samp class="codeph">jsday</samp>, a source registry of <samp class="codeph">Desktops</samp>,
and a target registry of <samp class="codeph">System_C</samp>.</li>
<li>The EIM lookup operation checks whether mapping lookups are enabled for
the source registry <samp class="codeph">Desktops</samp> and target registry <samp class="codeph">System_C</samp>.
They are. </li>
<li>The lookup operation checks for a specific identifier source association
that matches the supplied source user identity of <samp class="codeph">jsday</samp> in
a source registry of <samp class="codeph">Desktops</samp>. </li>
<li>The lookup operation uses the matching identifier source association to
determine the appropriate EIM identifier name, which is <samp class="codeph">John Day</samp>.</li>
<li>The lookup operation uses this EIM identifier name to search for an identifier
target association for the EIM identifier that matches the specified target
EIM registry definition name of <samp class="codeph">System_C</samp>. </li>
<li>There is a such an identifier target association and the lookup operation
returns the target user identity of <samp class="codeph">JOHND</samp> as defined in the
target association. </li>
<li>With the mapping lookup operation complete, iSeries Navigator begins to run under
the <samp class="codeph">JOHND</samp> user profile. The user's authority to access resources
and perform actions within iSeries Navigator is determined by the authority
defined for the <samp class="codeph">JOHND</samp> user profile rather than the authority
defined for the <samp class="codeph">jsday</samp> user identity.</li>
