FIM Schema - attributes vs. properties

Answered FIM Schema - attributes vs. properties

    I'm trying to map AD user attributes to FIM person attributes, just to get a sense of what is available when defining attribute flows.

    Looking at the schema for FIM, here: 

    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ee652538(v=vs.100).aspx

    My question is what is the difference between what I see in the XML formated schema definition, for example: name="AccountName"

    and what is defined on that page below the schema box, the list defined as 'Properties? (Where AccountName also happens to be defined, but then many of those listed seem unique and not defined within the schema).

    Thanks!

    Those are the same. The list and the XML have the same items.

    As far as mapping those to AD. Accountname would map to samaccountname.

    firstname to givenname

    lastname to sn

    Thanks for your reply David - Conceptually, as long as they are 'supposed' to be the same I'm good.  I noticed there are several attributes listed (ObjectID, displayName, DetectedRulesList, etc) in the schema that are not defined in the list and wanted to make sure I was not missing something in terms of versions or usage.

    Those items are from the Resource schema and all object classes "inherit" them (it is the only example of inheritance in the FIM Schema).
