Active Directory Application Mode (ADAM)

For organizations that require flexible support for directory-enabled applications, Microsoft has developed Active Directory Application Mode (ADAM). ADAM is a Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) directory service that runs as a user service, rather than as a system service.
Active Directory Application Mode (ADAM) is a part of Microsoft?￠a??a?￠s fully integrated directory services available with Windows Server 2003, and is built specifically to address directory-enabled application scenarios.
