Generic Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) version 3

Generic LDAPv3 identity repositories may reside on an instance of any directory that complies with the LDAPv3 specifications. The directory can not make use of features that are not part of the LDAP version 3 specification, and no specific DIT structure can be assumed as LDAPv3 identity repositories are simply DIT branches that contain user and group entries. The identity repositories might or might not reside in the same instance of Sun Java System Directory Server as the Access Manager information tree. Each data store has a name that is unique among a realm's data store names, but not necessarily unique across all realms in the Access Manager information tree. The com.sun.identity.idm.plugins.ldapv3.LDAPv3Repo class provides the default LDAPv3 identity repository implementation.

This configuration is not compatible with previous versions of Access Manager.
