index page. Use the following syntax to enter a
parameter value: <link alias>;<URL>, where the
values of both <link alias> and <URL> are surrounded
by quotation marks, and separated by a semicolon. For
example, set the value of the parameter to

Description: This parameter enables you to define a

between different values for an LDAP attribute when
importing users from an LDAP directory. When
importing users, ALM chooses a value for the attribute

<regular expression>, where <LDAP attribute name>
is the name of the LDAP attribute whose value you
want to choose, and <regular expression> is a regular
expression. This regular expression should conform to
