People directory provider settings

Use this panel to modify the settings for a people directory provider.

People directory providers are used to get information from a directory of users. Each people directory provider is registered with the runtime environment by specifying a name and a Java archive (JAR) file that contains a plug-in for the provider. A configuration file in the JAR file defines the class name, which represents the provider as well as the properties for the provider.

To view this administrative console page, first click Resources > People directory provider. People directory providers are defined with Node scope.

To view or modify the configuration for a people directory provider and any custom properties that it has, click the name of the provider, people_directory_provider_name.
