Property extension
The Property extension, formerly known as the lookaside database, allows you to store additional user attributes into a database store without touching backend user registry. You can use the Property Extension if LDAP is read-only but you have a requirement that allows users to specify an additional attribute such as Timezone. You can store this additional attribute in the database store. You can also add additional attributes for an application if you cannot change repository Schema. Property extension can be used with a federated repository, a stand-alone LDAP user registry, or a custom user registry.
