Overview

An adapter is an interface between a managed resource and the Identity server.

• Adapters might reside on the managed resource.
• The Identity server manages access to the resource by using your security system.
• Adapters function as trusted virtual administrators on the target platform.
• They perform tasks, such as creating, suspending, and restoring user accounts, and other administrative functions that are performed manually.
• The adapter runs as a service, independently of whether you are logged on to the Identity server.
• The TDI-based Documentum Server Adapter enables communication between the Identity server and the Documentum Content Server.
