New FIM 2010 Connectors GA

  • Artikel

It has been an incredibly long time since I've gotten a chance to post anything, unfortunately this one will be pretty short!

The product group at Microsoft released 3 new connectors for FIM, I would definitely recommend taking a look.

Windows Azure Active Directory
Connector can be used in scenarios not supported by DirSync, for example multi-forest or non-AD. We still recommend to use DirSync as the primary solution to synchronize AD to AAD and use it whenever possible. The Connector comes with sample code and configuration for a resource/account-forest scenario. For more information, please refer to the TechNet documentation: https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=330371.

Generic LDAP
Connector will allow you to connect to an LDAPv3 compliant directory. It currently supports the same LDAP directories (IBM, Novell, and Oracle) we ship with FIM2010R2 and will over time replace the built-in LDAP Management Agents. For more information, please refer to the TechNet documentation: https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=270179.

SharePoint User Profile Store
Connector will connect to the SharePoint User Profile Store and can be used as a replacement for the built-in synchronization engine which comes with SharePoint, for example in mulit-forest or non-AD scenarios. For more information, please refer to the TechNet documentation: https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=331344.

    The web page for the SharePoint connector states that it "expects a specific FIM build to be installed on your FIM synchronization server". Does anyone know why there is this restriction, and whether it will work (or can be encouraged to work) on MIM 2016?
