Active Directory as Datastore in openAM

[HarshaMuthuganneSudhakara]

Question 1) Does changing password of a AD user from openAM change user's AD password?
2) if answer is NO for question 1 then where will be the password stored?
3) Does openAM calls AD or it imports the USER data from AD and does both authentication and authorisation within openAM?

Yes, OpenAM changes AD user password attribute

3. Does openAM calls AD or it imports the USER data from AD and does both authentication and authorisation within openAM?

OpenAM calls AD directly, see https://github.com/OpenIdentityPlatform/OpenAM/wiki/How-To-Setup-Active-Directory-Authentication-In-OpenAM
