Federated Directory Server - Overview
Security Directory Integrator provides extensive capabilities for developing complex data integration solutions. The Federated Directory Server console builds upon these capabilities and provides a quick and easy solution for connecting and synchronizing data from various sources.
IBM Security Directory Server is the core centralized repository for Federated Directory Server. The Federated Directory Server console provides synchronization services from one or more source systems, such as Active Directory or Sun Directory to the target, which is IBM Security Directory Server. The Federated Directory Server console has the following advantages:
- Requires less implementation time and effort than custom-built solutions because it is a ready-to-use, quality application.
- Does not require in-depth knowledge of SDI; hence it is easy to deploy and use.
- Enables integration across various data sources such as directories, databases, legacy data, and flat files, without affecting existing systems.
- Facilitates rapid deployment of identity and access management applications through a single point of access.
- Offers high speed, scalable performance, and superior security.
