For more information about deploying and customizing the adapter, see the customization white paper entitled IBM® Verify Identity, Version 6.0 Customization and Deployment Guide for the LDAP Adapter.
The adapter is designed to work with the inetOrgPerson object class, a general-purpose object class that contains attributes about people. If you are using the inetOrgPerson schema for your directory, the LDAP Adapter does not require customization. If your directory uses the UID attribute as the relative distinguished name (RDN), do not customize the adapter. The UID attribute must be the first component of the DN. For example, UID=Test User, ou=Accounting.
The adapter is designed to work with the groupOfNames and groupOfUniqueNames object classes, a general-purpose object class that contains attributes about groups. If you are using the groupOfNames and groupOfUniqueNames schema for your directory, the LDAP Adapter does not require customization.
The adapter supports a standard set of attributes and object classes for a directory server. The adapter supports standard user provisioning operations such as add, delete, modify, suspend, restore, change password, search, and test. The adapter also supports group operations, such as add, modify, and delete. The directory server requirements vary. Therefore, you might customize or extend the LDAP schema to support additional attributes or object classes.
