.

Note: Notice that the ten.mydomain.com server instance in the Server Navigator pane no longer shows an asterisk because the adapter is now deployed to the OViD Server.

You can view the mapper plugin that is applied when you configure the AD adapter. To view this, click the ad_ten.mydomain.com adapter in the server navigation pane, click Plugins in the right pane, and expand All Operations to view in detail the mapper plug-in.

You need to test the adapter after deploying it to the OViD Server. For testing this adapter, you use an LDAP browser native to the OViD Manager utility to examine both the virtualized interface and the adapter source data from the AD directory. In the Server Navigator pane, under the Browser panel, right-click the OVD_Training project option and select Refresh Current Node.

Expand the structures under the OVD_Training section and click the ten.mydomain.com > Client View option, and then notice the new branch for ou=Employees,dc=mydomain,dc=ovd. The OViD Server then establishes a connection and requests the information from the AD server.

Click the user CN=Charles Fox from the substructure of ou=Employees,dc=mydomain,dc=ovd and notice that his distinguished name (CN=Charles Fox,ou=Employees,dc=mydomain,dc=ovd) reflects the virtualized structure of the OVD (ou=Employees,dc=mydomain,dc=ovd) and not the structure of the AD server (CN=Users,DC=mydomain,DC=com) where his record resides.

Note: The distinguished name (DN) for the record reflects the virtual domain (dc=mydomain,dc=ovd) and not the real domain (dc=mydomain,dc=com) of their native AD repository.

In OViD Manager, right-click Adapters, and then select New > LDAP Adapter.

You need to provide the configuration details for the new LDAP adapter. Provide the following information for the new LDAP adapter and click Validate.

You need to test the local adapter after deploying it to the OViD Server. For testing this adapter, you use a browser native to the OViD Manager utility to examine both the virtualized interface and the adapter source data from the other LDAP directories. In the Server Navigator pane, under the Browser panel, right-click the OVD_Training project option and select Refresh Current Node.

Expand the structures in the OVD_Training section and click the ten.mydomain.com > Client View option and notice the new branch for the top-level client view with dc=mydomain,dc=ovd.

You can expose the TreeTop adapter to clients by hiding OID and AD adapters so that all client operations are handled by using the local store adapter. For doing this, you need to unset the visibility attribute from the routing section for OID and AD adapters. To perform this task, for both the AD and OID adapter, in the General Settings section under Routing, select No from the Visibility drop-down list.

In the Server Navigator section, right-click ten.mydomain.com and select Save All To Server.

Ensure that the visibility option is set to Yes for the TreeTop adapter and the routing exclude binds from both the AD and OID adapters. To view the client view for the local adapter, in the Server Navigator pane, under the Browser panel, right-click the OVD_Training project option and select Refresh Current Node. You would be able to view the client view for the local storage adapter overlaying the other two adapters.

In the OVD_Training section, right-click the Client View option and notice the new branch for the top-level client view with dc=mydomain,dc=ovd.

Expand the structures in the OVD_Training section and click Client View > Import LDIF.

Navigate to the E:\Input_files\LocalStorageAdapter folder and select the treetop_entry.ldif file and click Open.
