Howdy,

I too am trying to integrate a third party app via VDX with the DAL.

I defined DirXML-Driver as an entity in DAL and CN as an attribute. However, during my testing on the web service the CN attribute is returnining null. Have you seen this?

My own developed - Active Directory Cache Inspector for AD Driver Novell Identity manager

Sometimes there is a need for us (Consultants) to see a snapshot of all the changes that happened on the Active directory side while the Novell AD IDM driver was stopped or was not running, before we decide to start the AD driver. Since Novell Identity Manager currently allows us to see all the events which happened in the Identity vault only, but not on the AD side, I decided to write such a tool myself, and of course wanted to share this tool with the consultants/community out there. It's a .NET 2.0 WinForm application, written in C# programming language. To run this tool you should have at minimum: .NET 2.0 framework installed, ( Not supported on the Linux platforms yet) This application must be run under the same user which is configured on the AD driver. Short Tutorial (How To): When you run the application (ADCView.exe), the application automatically discovers the current domain, a domain controller, and default domain naming context in the user logged in domain automatically
