Each user in JumpCloud can be decorated with a series of attributes to create a profile for use in the directory, which can then be consumed by resource endpoints via various protocols.  

Attributes come in two types: standard user attributes and Custom User Attributes<\/a>. This article will go over standard user attributes, as well as how they map to LDAP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

LDAP Attribute Mapping<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

All standard user attributes are available to consume from LDAP for users that are bound to the JumpCloud LDAP-as-a-Service directory. The following mapping shows how JumpCloud attributes are represented in LDAP-as-a-Service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
