LDAP Gateway and Proxy for Virtual Directories

If you're looking for a solution to directory proliferation problems, you already know about LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol). Symlabs Virtual Directory Server provides an LDAP proxy and gateway, as well as implementing virtual directory server functionality, to enable you to build the high-performance directory and identity management infrastructure that your environment demands.

While specialized user databases can sometimes provide user lookup and authentication functions for applications, they are usually application-specific and often have a hard time adapting to increased demands. Complex environments handling thousands or even millions of users and transactions require robust, scalable directories that can easily accommodate a diverse range of service providers with high volume. But, as environments expand, directories continue to proliferate. This creates the need for a standard to make the collection of applications and service providers function as an integrated unit. LDAP provides that standard.

The industry standard

LDAP is an open standard that is accepted throughout the industry for directory-based applications. Directory standards used to be complex and difficult to manage, but, as the name implies, LDAP is 'lightweight' and easier to use. It is well suited for identity management and is therefore useful in environments intended to support B2B relationships and supply chain management.

Why use Symlabs Virtual Directory Server?

Symlabs Virtual Directory Server is a software solution that offers versatility and resilience to your enterprise. It utilizes LDAP and SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol), allowing it to interact with any applications that use popular standards for directory access. Because of this, the applications in your environment don't need to adjust to new service providers or applications. Instead, Symlabs Virtual Directory Server can accommodate the additions and link them to your existing components. Because it maps attributes in any possible configuration and can calculate virtual attributes based on the existing values of other attributes, Symlabs Virtual Directory Server creates a unified virtual view of data that originates in a vast number of directories across your environment.

Symlabs Virtual Directory Server can also provide flexible access control, allowing you to take command over what happens with your data. This is important and particularly useful when data comes from multiple diverse sources that have individual types of access control. Because Symlabs Virtual Directory Server can perform access control across multiple layers, it ensures that even in this situation you can apply an access control mechanism to the entire view of the data as a whole.
