• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message LDAPMAP035 - Binary attribute &1 not allowed in this mapping ?

  The SAP error message LDAPMAP035 indicates that there is an issue with the mapping of a binary attribute in the context of LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) integration. This error typically arises when you are trying to map a binary attribute (such as an image or file) in the LDAP mapping configuration, which is not allowed.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is that the attribute you are trying to map is defined as a binary attribute in the LDAP schema, and SAP does not support the mapping of binary attributes in the LDAP mapping configuration. Binary attributes are typically used for storing non-text data, and SAP's LDAP integration is designed to work with text-based attributes.
  Solution:
  To resolve the LDAPMAP035 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Review the Mapping Configuration:
  
  Check the LDAP mapping configuration in your SAP system. Identify the attribute that is causing the error and confirm that it is indeed a binary attribute.
  
  
  
  Modify the Mapping:
  
  If the binary attribute is not necessary for your integration, consider removing it from the mapping configuration.
  If you need to retain the information contained in the binary attribute, consider using a different approach to store or manage that data outside of the LDAP mapping.
  
  
  
  Use Text Attributes:
  
  If possible, use text-based attributes instead of binary attributes for the mapping. This may involve changing how data is stored or represented in your LDAP directory.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to the SAP documentation for LDAP integration to understand the limitations and supported attribute types. This can provide insights into how to structure your data for successful integration.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to the mapping configuration, test the integration to ensure that the error is resolved and that the data is being processed as expected.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may provide additional guidance or updates regarding LDAP integration and attribute mapping.
  LDAP Schema: Familiarize yourself with the LDAP schema you are working with to understand which attributes are binary and which are text-based.
  SAP Community: Engage with the SAP Community forums for discussions and solutions related to LDAP integration issues.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the LDAPMAP035 error and successfully configure your LDAP mapping in SAP.
