# LDAP attribute parameters

The following table lists and provides descriptions of the PPM Server configuration parameters in the `LdapAttribute.conf` file, which is located in the `<PPM_Home>/conf` directory. Use the `LdapAttribute.conf` file to map the attributes of the LDAP server with the attributes used by the PPM Server.

The default mapping uses the standard LDAP attributes. All values are case-sensitive. Do not add spaces between tokens.

Caution: Do not map the `ORG_UNIT_NAME` and `PARENT_ORG_UNIT_NAME` parameters in `LdapAttribute.conf`. These attributes are specified in the `KRSC_ORG_UNITS_INT` table.
