My webMethods Server can communicate and exchange user information with a newer version of the Common Directory Services component when the hosting Integration Server instance is from a later release. For example, a My webMethods Server instance with version 10.3 can communicate with the CDS component from an Integration Server installation with version 10.5. The version compatibility mode is not enabled by default. For information about how to enable version interoperability for My webMethods Server and CDS, see Enabling Version Interoperability in My webMethods Server.
