To use SSL with Active Directory Application Mode (ADAM) you must obtain an SSL certificated, put the certificate in the personal store
of the ADAM service, and verify that SSL is working with ADAM.
Refer to Microsoft's web site for the latest updates to these procedures.
Active Directory Application Mode (ADAM) is an LDAP-compliant directory service. ADAM runs as a service on the Windows operating system. It
can be fully customized and distributed as an application component or used as a stand-alone LDAP directory. ADAM uses the same technologies
found on Active Directory Domain Controllers (including replication and delegation features) and has it own administration and customization
features.
Search results
Search tips
The search returns topics that contain terms you enter. If you type more than one term, an OR is assumed, which returns topics where any of the terms are found. Enclose your search terms in quotes for exact-phrase matching.
The search also uses fuzzy matching to account for partial words (such as install and installs). The results appear in order of relevance, based on how many search terms occur per topic. Exact matches are highlighted.
To refine the search, you can use the following operators:
Type + in front of words that must be included in the search or - in front of words to exclude. (Example: user +shortcut –group finds shortcut and user shortcut, but not group or user group.)
Use * as a wildcard for missing characters. The wildcard can be used anywhere in a search term. (Example: inst* finds installation and instructions.)
Type title: at the beginning of the search phrase to look only for topic titles. (Example: title:configuration finds the topic titled “Changing the software configuration.”)
For multi-term searches, you can specify a priority for terms in your search. Follow the term with ^ and a positive number that indicates the weight given that term. A higher number indicates more weight. (Example: shortcut^10 group gives shortcut 10 times the weight as group.)
To use fuzzy searching to account for misspellings, follow the term with ~ and a positive number for the number of corrections to be made. (Example: port~1 matches fort, post, or potr, and other instances where one correction leads to a match.)
Note that operators cannot be used as search terms: + - * : ~ ^ ' "
