Environment

Novell Identity Manager 3.5.1
Novell Identity Manager Driver - LDAP

Situation

When reviewing the LDAP driver configuration parameters, the "LDAP Directory Type" parameter shows two choices. You can choose LDAPV3 or M-Vault. How is the M-Vault option different?

Resolution

When using Isode M-vault as the LDAP directory, there are two issues that need to be compensated for. The first is that the changelog format is slightly different (requiring different parsing) and the other difference is the way IDM has to search for the changelog.
