Custom Directory Overview

The Administrative UI allows you to create custom user directory connections by creating shared libraries using the SOA Security Manager Directory API (available separately with the Software Development Kit; if installed, see the API Reference Guide for C for more information). Custom connections allow the Policy Server to interact with legacy directories. Once you create a directory connection using the SOA Security Manager APIs, you can configure a custom namespace on the User Directory pane.
