LDAP - Mapping objectGUID field to Service-now field

[twofirstnames]

Hi All

I'm wanting to set my LDAP import to coalesce on the LDAP objectGUID value. The data type in Active Directory is an octet string (binary attribute). Which Service-now data type would be the best match? I've tried a couple (string, integer, GUID) but these don't display the objectGUID value in the same way so I'm concerned they may not be unique if 'converted' in this way.

Has anyone else done this? Any recommendations?

Thanks in advance

A string field with an appropriate length is sufficient for this.   And you're correct about objectGUID vs objectSID. GUID is a more permanent unique value and stays with the user record in AD if domains switch.
