Modify the schema.ext File

Connector Guides › Connectors Guide › Connecting to Endpoints › Microsoft Active Directory Services Connector › ADS Defaults › Extend the ADS Schema › Modify the schema.ext File

You can modify the schema.ext file (for example, add or remove attributes) and have the changes picked up by existing objects by restarting the C++ Connector Server and establishing a connection to the target system after making your changes. For example, a connection to the target system can be established by opening the Explore/Correlate window or opening properties of an account from the Provisioning Manager.

Any new attributes that are added to the schema.ext file can be found in the list of extended attributes on the Custom tab on the ADS Account or ADS Account Template property sheet. Attributes that are removed from the schema.ext file are handled in one of two ways:

From the ADS Account property sheet, the attributes will be automatically removed from the list of extended attributes on the Custom tab.
From the ADS Account Template property sheet, under the Valid column, the attributes will be marked as invalid (N). The attribute can then be removed and deleted from the provisioning repository.
