Issue: The connector for NetIQ Access Manager that is available in SocialAccess 2.3 and 2.2 works only with Access Manager 4.1.0.0-201. (Bug 981987)
Workaround: The functionality provided with the connector is now included in Access Manager 4.2 or later. We recommend using the newer version of Access Manager to get this functionality. If you want to use the existing connector for Access Manager in SocialAccess 2.3 or 2.2, you must have Access Manager 4.1.0.0-201 installed.
