Enterprise Directory Integration Solutions
Symlabs Virtual Directory Server provides a complete set of features for highly scalable, safe and reliable enterprise directory integration. Many enterprises face enterprise directory integration challenges whenever there are multiple applications, and/or multiple enterprise directories involved. What's more - sometimes data is not even stored in enterprise directories, but relational databases, so database access via LDAP is a definite requirement.
Virtual Directory Server provides the following features to support enterprise directory integration:
- Multiple Repositories
- Data Augmentation
- Database Access via LDAP
- Data Sources Integration
Data Augmentation
Sometimes an application wants to store additional data in the directory, but this is not possible for technical or political reasons. A common case is that the directory server is outside of the administrative control of the department wanting to run the application, or it is read-only.
Symlabs Virtual Directory Server supports storing additional data attributes locally for any entry in a directory server. It does this by filtering requests and storing the additional data locally on the file system, where Virtual Directory Server is running, or optionally, in another directory server or relation database. This is fully transparent for the application: From the application's point of view, it appears as if the additional data is stored in the directory, even though Directory Manager is managing it locally.
Synchronization
Data synchronization is often used within enterprises to push data changes out to different storage systems, and to keep them in synch. Symlabs Virtual Directory Server is a perfect solution to enable synchronization, since it can keep track of all changes, and push them out to the required subsystems. When a subsystem is not available, changes can be queued up, and as soon as the subsystem becomes available, the changes can be sent. Additionally, it can keep track of all subsystems at any time, and alert administrators of any failed subsystem, or any other inconsistency.
Database Access via LDAP
Symlabs Virtual Directory Server makes database access via LDAP easy. A database interface (DBI) is included with Directory Extender together with the functionality to map any RDBMS table into virtual trees that can be accessed using LDAP. With this functionality, RDBMS access via LDAP is easy.
