We have a CCM profiles sync config file to map fields from CCM to AD or to the SharePoint profile database. Is it possible to add new fields here that can be used in CCM?

Problem

The manual states that you can modify the file but nothing about adding new fields.

Solution

Yes, it's possible to add new fields as well.

You'll need to map CCM profile field with External Field for AD or SharePoint profile. In the CCM configuration xml file (it's either \TEMPLATE\XML\CCMProfilesADSyncConfig.xml 

 or \TEMPLATE\XML\CCMProfilesSPSyncConfig.xml) you'll need to specify:

- common name for AD attribute that you have created (e.g. how to create a custom AD attribute) 

- property name for SharePoint profile that you have created.
