Enterprise Directory Integration Solutions - Symlabs
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
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.
"Virtual Directory Server can bridge identity
information distributed within the enterprise."
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, Symlabs
Virtual Directory Server can keep track of all subsystems at any
time, and alert administrators of any failed subsystem, or any
other inconsistency.
Symlabs Virtual Directory Server makes database access via LDAP
easy. A database interface (DBI) is included 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.
