String Field to Reference (DN) field in MIM (Group Owner)

Hi,

I have field in my SQL MA that contains employee ID, I want to map it to reference field (DN) in metaverse. But it doesn't allow me to do so. So how can I do this?

Actually, I am creating security & distribution groups on FIM portal using a SQL MA but I am unable to set group owner's and administrator field. I am trying to flow out administrator's employee id from SQL but since it is a string value so it is not allowing me to assign it to a reference value.

I'll be thankful for the response/solution.

Regards  

F.
