I'm working on a project that is going to use Tivoli Identity Manager to automate the provisioning of users. It will initially integrate with our HR system and Active Directory. Eventually it will integrate with all the other systems in the environment. We have one attribute in our HR system that currently doesn't exist in Active Directory and would like to add it . I've read through this:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb727064.aspx And the process looks fairly straight forward. My question is more of approach. Here are the 2 options as I see them: Option # 1: Create a new attribute Add the new attribute to the User class Option # 2: Create a new attribute Create a new auxiliary Class Add the Attribute to the new auxiliary class Add the new auxiliary class to the User class The only benefit I can see with Option # 2 is that if at some point you wanted to remove all the changes, if you had a number of them, you could do it all at once by removing the auxiliary class. At this point I really don't see us adding more than a few attributes at most. But you never know. Thoughts?
