Keep your federated directories up-to-date so that Security Access Manager can access the most recent user information that is stored in external user registries. You can add a new directory, remove an existing one, or modify its settings.
Federated directories store the data that is associated with different users in different user registries. With federated directories, the appliance can access user information that is stored in a user registry external to Security Access Manager.
The DN of the user controls the user registry that is used when you search for user information. The Security Access Manager data that is associated with each user record is still stored in the Security Access Manager user registry. The Security Access Manageruser registry is defined when you configure the runtime environment.
The Federated Directories menu item is enabled only if the runtime component is already configured.
