If you don&#8217;t want to use OVD then from version 11.1.1.5, OIM comes with identity virtualization Library (<strong>libOVD<\/strong>).

If you wish to change user container based on user\/role attributes (<font class=\"Apple-style-span\" color=\"#ff0000\">for example users with attribute value country=US should go to container cn=US,cn=User,dc=domain and users with attribute value country=UK should go to\u00a0cn=UK,cn=User,dc=domain<\/font>\u00a0) then modify \/db\/<strong>ldapContainerRules.xml<\/strong> in MDS.

This plug-in is defined by OIM system property <strong>LDAPContainerMapperPlugin<\/strong>. The plug-in reads user\/group container value (location where it needs to sync data in LDAP server) from XML file stored on MDS schema in OIM database (<strong>\/db\/LDAPContainerRules.xml<\/strong>) .<\/li>\n<li>You can enable logging for LDAP using logger &#8220;oracle.iam.ldap-sync&#8221; from Fusion Middleware Enterprise Manager Console.
