!!! Overview
[{$pagename}] is the names as they are within the [DirXML] [Connected Application]. [1][2]

The application [namespace] is often different than the [DirXML] [namespace]

If you view a driver configuration as being a data pipeline between an [Connected Application] and [eDirectory], it is important to note that many pieces of data that are shared between them may be called by different names. 

In an HR application, you may have a "[First Name]", while in eDirectory you have a "[Given Name]". A person can easily see that these are the same thing, but computers have to be told. So, in this example, in the "name space" of the [Connected Application], you would refer to "[First Name]", but in the "name space" of [eDirectory], you would use "[Given Name]".[1]

Most of the time in [DirXML], you will be working with [eDirectory] attribute names, in the [eDirectory] namespace. 

Some of the time, you may need to work in the [{$pagename}]. The [Input Transformation Policy Set] and [Output Transformation Policy Set] always work with the [{$pagename}].

Also, keep in mind, [LDAP] has yet another namespace. The LDAP name for "[Given Name]" is [givenName].
