Backend LDAP Servers
Symlabs Virtual Directory Server and LDAP Proxy can function with any LDAP v2 or v3 compliant backend system. Built-in load-balancing and failover algorithms can take advantage of any multi-master / multi-replica environment, providing an HA or highly-performant solution even for applications that are not designed to function within these environments. Health checking facilities are available to manage the routing of connections to available servers, and will re-route queries automatically should one of your backend systems go down.
Many of the built-in processing plugins and client-side functionalities can help to overcome a variety of problem areas for systems administrators and integrators. Setting up TLS/SSL protected connectivity to an Active Directory instance, via the DMZ is an incredibly simple operation and requires no tinkering with an internally located system that is not currently SSL capable. Attribute and ObjectClass mapping, along with a collection of other schema related plugins, can remove many of the integration headaches revolving around schema compliance. Joining datasets stored in different trees, or merging data sharing common attribute values is a snap. And fine-grained ACL and filtering capabilities within the product can help you to consolidate your security policy. Whatever you're looking for, we probably have a solution for you either in-the-box or through our scripted processing layer.
If you're interested in what we can do, have a look at some of our more generic solutions. If you're using a specific backend, you might find it among the list of backends that we have worked with and can get an idea of some of the problems that we've solved for other customers using the same systems. Please keep in mind that this list of backend systems is by no means exhaustive, we've worked with a huge number of repositories and systems. The Symlabs Virtual Directory Server and LDAP Proxy products are designed to work in conjunction with any LDAP compliant backend repository. Both Symlabs Virtual Directory Server and LDAP Proxy were initially designed to help resolve many of the common integration issues faced by systems administrators and architects working with consumer applications that require access to data stored within an LDAP-type directory.
