Customizing the Active Directory Adapter
Active Directory can support custom attributes for the user class. The Active Directory Adapter only supports standard Windows attributes by default. However, you can customize the adapter to support custom (extended) attributes.
Before you begin
Before customizing an adapter, you must have working knowledge of these concepts:
- LDAP schema management
- LDAP object classes and attributes
- Scripting language that is appropriate for the installation system
- XML document structure
Note: The Active Directory Adapter supports customization only with the
use of pre-Exec and post-Exec scripting. IBM does not support the your individual customization,
scripts, or other modifications. If you experience a customization problem, IBM Support can require
problem demonstration on the released version of the adapter before opening a problem report. For
more information, see the IBM Security Verify Identity Support website.
