5. To save all of your changes to the defined attribute mappings for
the selected toolkit application, click Save and Close, which
returns you to the appropriate Configure Application dialog.
Validating Your Toolkit Application
Before mapping endpoints to your toolkit application, you need to
ensure that the application is able to run properly. You can do this by
running your application from the command line.
1. At the command prompt (or in a UNIX shell), start your
application. Your application should be waiting for input from
STDIN.
2. You should now type:
SHUTDOWN
Make sure you enter only capital letters. Press Enter.
Your application should shut down.
If your application performs these functions properly, then use the
GUI to map the endpoint tested to your toolkit application. For
details and procedures, see the following section, Editing Endpoint
Mappings.
Editing Endpoint Mappings
Once the selected toolkit applications configuration and attribute
mappings are defined, you can edit its endpoint mappings, which
determine the targets for a populate or distribution of the mapped
user profiles (also see Editing Profile Mappings on page 35).
Note: The custom application must be installed on the endpoints
before they can be mapped.
Perform the following steps to edit the endpoint mappings for a
selected application:
1. The Endpoint Mappings group box, in the lower left of the
Manage Toolkit Applications dialog, includes a list of names of
current endpoint mappings as populate or distribution targets for
