# Property Mappings
Property Mappings allow you to pass information to external applications. For example, pass the current user's groups as a SAML parameter. Property Mappings are also used to map Source fields to passbook fields, for example when using LDAP.
## SAML Property Mapping
SAML Property Mappings allow you embed information into the SAML AuthN request. This information can then be used by the application to, for example, assign permissions to the object.
You can find examples [here](integrations/).
## LDAP Property Mapping
LDAP Property Mappings are used when you define a LDAP Source. These mappings define which LDAP property maps to which passbook property. By default, the following mappings are created:
- Autogenerated LDAP Mapping: givenName -> first_name
- Autogenerated LDAP Mapping: mail -> email
- Autogenerated LDAP Mapping: name -> name
- Autogenerated LDAP Mapping: sAMAccountName -> username
- Autogenerated LDAP Mapping: sn -> last_name
These are configured with most common LDAP setups.
