The feature will provide one-way synchronization of data from Active Directory® to ADAM and keep the ADAM data consistent with the source Active Directory® data. Application administrators and developers can use a configuration file and a scriptable command line interface to specify a filtered and scoped subset of data to be pulled from Active Directory® to ADAM.
There will be no data written back to Active Directory® and the objects and values in ADAM are not “transformed” in any way. Object or attribute based evaluation rules cannot be implemented. Values from the source (Active Directory®) are authoritative. While the application may extend the data stored in ADAM, any shared data will be overwritten on subsequent runs, with data values from Active Directory®.
