SCA Configuration - SecContacts.CustomDatasourceNames

SecContacts.CustomDatasourceNames

This setting allows administrators to customize the IDs and display names of datasources shown in SCA. This is useful when datasource names should match internal terminology or when multiple instances of the same datasource type are configured.

Secure Contacts App has a default id and name for any datasource which is available in the App. e.g. AAD - AzureActiveDirectory

• default datasource id's currently available: AAD, APC, GAL, D365, DVRS, ABS, SMC

With this setting you can change id and name of any datasource which is presented to the user.

• Name: SecContacts.CustomDatasourceNames

• Value: [{"defaultid":"<default id>", "customid":"<custom id>", "customname":"<custom name>"}]

The Value property is a JSON Array of defaultid customid customname trio. You can add one or multiple custom datasource names here.

Replace <default id> with the default datasource id you want to change

• e.g. AAD

Replace <custom id> with your custom datasource id

• e.g. CORP

Replace <custom name> with your custom datasource name

• e.g. Corporate Directory

Examples

Rename a single datasource

[
  {
    "defaultid": "AAD",
    "customid": "CORP",
    "customname": "Corporate Directory"
  }
]

Result: AAD → CORP AzureActiveDirectory → Corporate Directory

Rename multiple datasources

[
  {
    "defaultid": "AAD",
    "customid": "CORP",
    "customname": "Corporate Directory"
  },
  {
    "defaultid": "SMC",
    "customid": "MKT",
    "customname": "Marketing Contacts"
  },
  {
    "defaultid": "ABS",
    "customid": "SUP",
    "customname": "Support Directory"
  }
]

Result: AAD → CORP AzureActiveDirectory → Corporate Directory

SMC → MKT SharedMailboxContacts → Marketing Contacts

ABS → SUP AzureBlobStorage → Support Directory

Rename multiple datasources of the same type

When multiple datasources of the same type are configured, SCA automatically assigns sequential IDs. Example: AAD1, AAD2 or ABS1, ABS2 etc.

These dynamically assigned IDs can also be customized using this setting.

[
  {
    "defaultid": "AAD1",
    "customid": "SALE",
    "customname": "Sales Contacts"
  },
  {
    "defaultid": "AAD2",
    "customid": "MKT",
    "customname": "Marketing Contacts"
  }
]

Result: AAD1 → CORP AzureActiveDirectory1 → Sales Directory

AAD2 → MKT AzureActiveDirectory2 → Marketing Contacts
