Hello,

I am trying to do same as what mentioned above by Siva. 

I have my setup as Apache DS -> Application but I want Microsoft AD
Integrated as well. 

So it will be like 

Apache DS -- > 
                MyVD -- > Application 
MS AD     -- >

Reading through Documentation provided I was able to instal and deploy My VD
on my Linux Server. 

But I am stuck after here as I dunno how to proceed now. 

I want to do this  Guides -> Integrating Directories 
and I can see that in the configuration file we have to set LDAP configs for
Apache DS and MS AD.

But I am not sure how to access MyVD ? Like

* It has a URI or an interface or a File ?  Ffrom where I can see what
configs I need to set in my application for it to listen to MyVD.

* Do I have to use a tool Like Jexplorer/ Directory Studio to create a new
connection and then use that in my application.

Would be a great help if some one can assist with further steps. 

Thanks,
Pawan

Thanks Marc. 
This really helps and I will use MyVD's list for any further queries. 

Cheers,

First, I'm the maintainer of MyVD and its probably best to move this
conversation to MyVD's list.  There's a link to it on our website.

No, MyVD is a reverse proxy for LDAP so it would be:

                                                    ------> AD
application --> LDAP --> MyVD--|
                                                    ------> ApacheDS

Depending on what you are trying to do the join insert can be used to
combine the directories.

MyVD is an LDAP directory that can be accessed by any LDAPv3 browser (i.e.
apache's directory studio)

Your application will need to use an LDAP library (i.e. JNDI, Apache
Directory, JLDAP, etc) to access MyVD

Pawan, as I said before I'd suggest moving this over to the MyVD list as
not to clutter up ApacheDS' list.
