Using the management agent for Active Directory Application Mode (ADAM)

By using the Active Directory Application Mode (ADAM) management agent, you can synchronize data on a server that is running ADAM.

The following Microsoft Identity Integration Server 2003 versions support this management agent:

Identity Integration Feature Pack for Microsoft® Windows Server^TM Active Directory®
Microsoft Identity Integration Server 2003, Enterprise Edition

Connected data source support

Active Directory Application Mode (ADAM)

Management agent type

This is a call-based management agent.

Schema

The schema is generated based on the dynamic discovery of the data source by the management agent. When you refresh the schema for this management agent, the connected data source schema is rediscovered, the current management agent schema is updated, and Management Agent Designer starts. In Management Agent Designer, you can correct any inconsistencies that were introduced by the updated schema, such as deleted object types or deleted attributes.

Remarks

If the server that is running Active Directory Application Mode (ADAM) contains multiple partitions, create a management agent for each partition that you want to synchronize.
ADAM requires that you set up a Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) or Transport Layer Security (TLS) connection between the client and server when you set passwords. For more information, see article 321051, "How to Enable LDAP over SSL with a Third-Party Certification Authority," in the Microsoft Knowledge Base. (http://www.microsoft.com/)
