Adapter Programming Configuration
Every type of password sync adapter has different configuration requirements, depending on what non-Windows system you design the adapter for. Like affiliate applications, you can use the Enterprise Single Sign-On configuration store to store configuration properties centrally and more securely.
As with other configuration store applications, an administrator can use the Enterprise Single Sign-On management user interface to locate and read an XML file that describes the configuration properties for your adapter. The management tools use the XML file to render a property page to gather the required property values, for the specified adapter. You can also use ISSOConfigStore to load and read XML name/value combinations to and from the configuration store, or you can use the SSOPS tool.
You can also use the Enterprise Single Sign-On administration tools to enable and disable an adapter. On initial creation, an adapter is disabled.
