Interaction of the IdMM with a Client-Side Identity Management Component

We extend the Identity Management Machine (IdMM) by detailing the interaction of this machine with any client based identity management solution. For each of the client-dependent abstract functions we introduce a new submachine to describe how the IdMM interacts with a client's identity management (IdM) system. To allow for a better integration we introduce the concept of default parameters. The resulting abstract functions are then described within the context of a plugin-based system which will allow the IdMM to interact with any type of IdM system. We then illustrate the interaction using an ApacheDS server.
