following:
If this management agent will only import identity information
from a connected data source, click Import only.
If this management agent will only export identity information
to a connected data source, click Export only.
If this management agent will import identity information from
a connected data source and export identity information to the same
data source, click Import and Export.
Under Specify the export mode supported by this management
agent, click one of the following:
If this management agent will connect to a data source to
export synchronized data, click Call-based.
If this management agent will create an export file, click
File-based.
In Connected data source extension name, type the
complete name of the connected data source extension (.dll).
If it is necessary, to connect to a data source, under
Connection information, in Connect To, type the
complete name of the server, and then type a user account and
password.
Notes
You can specify logon credentials to generate an import file
from the connected data source or create an export file to be
passed to the connected data source. These credentials are passed
separately from those optional credentials that can be passed as
parameters and values if they are configured in the extension.
Connected data source extensions must exist in the Extensions
folder of the Microsoft Identity Integration Server 2003 root
directory. By default, the root directory is C:\Program
Files\Microsoft Identity Integration Server.
