Upgrading

You can either update the Active Directory Adapter or the Adapter Development Kit (ADK).

The ADK is the base component of the adapter. While all adapters have the same ADK, the remaining adapter functionality is specific to the managed resource.

Updating an adapter is only supported for the current IBM® Security Identity Manager release. If your current adapter is version 5.0.x or 5.1.x, you must uninstall the adapter first.

If only a code fix has been made to the ADK, instead of upgrading the entire adapter, you can upgrade just the ADK to the newer version. See Upgrading the ADK.
