15-2 Oracle Fusion Middleware Administrators Guide for Oracle Virtual Directory Adapter Browser The Adapter Browser enables you to view data as it exists in both LDAP and Database Adapter connected repositories. Think of the Adapter Browser view as the before view—what the data in LDAP and database repositories looks like before it is virtualized by Oracle Virtual Directory. When using the Adapter Browser to view databases, tables and fields appear as they exist in the original database, including sample table rows to assist in data modeling.

15.1.2 Managing Oracle Virtual Directory Entries Using the Client View Data Browser

The Client View browser enables you to view and search the entire virtual directory tree defined by all configured adapters after Oracle Virtual Directory has performed all data mapping and transformation. You can use the Client View browser to import and export LDIF files to and from the virtual directory. You can also modify and delete attributes of the virtual tree entries using the Client View Browser. This topic explains how to perform the following Client View browser tasks: ■ Searching the Virtual Directory Tree ■ Viewing Oracle Virtual Directory Entries ■ Modifying Attributes of Virtual Directory Tree Entries ■ Unlocking User Accounts ■ Importing an LDIF File ■ Exporting an LDIF File
