Is it possible to sync the passwords from Active Directory to an ADAM
instance using the ADAMSYNC tool? Also is possible to bring in the
sAMAccountName attribute from AD to ADAM?

Thanks

No, you cannot synch the password because you cannot read it from AD

I believe so, I do not think it was included in the AD Schema ldf that comes
with the ADAMSync beta but you could add your own schema extension.

Generally you do not need the samaccountname and password from AD
as an ADAM instance can authenticate domain users against AD and those
users can then be granted access to the ADAM instance.

Will this authentication work if the server running ADAM is not part of the
domain?

Authenticating against the domain requires the ADAM instance to
be on domain member server else you would need a way for the
ADAM server to figure out who the authenticator should be. That
might be technically possible but I do not think it can happen at present
with ADAM.

Windows accounts local to a standalone ADAM server can be
authenticated by the ADAM instance.

Lee

Does the ADAM reviewers guide explain how to setup authentication to AD if
the the ADAM server is part of the domain? If not where can I find
documentation on how to accomplish this.

Thanks for your help

Hi
for authentication there's nothing to configure it just works, in that
if you bind to an ADAM instance that is on a server in a domain
using domain credentials, ADAM takes those credentials and presents
them to a domain DC for authentication. However that does not buy
you much as by default the access control in the ADAM instance will
not permit you to see any data in the instance.

So it's the access control rather than the authentication that needs
configuration. See

ADAM Help
Understanding ADAM
Access control

and

ADAM Help
Administering ADAM
Administering access control

That last explains that there are two options: (coarse-grained) adding the
Well-Known SID for Authenticated Users in the ADAM readers role or
(fine-grained) adding domain-specific SIDs to objects.
