Digital LDAP Directory Synchronizer Utility (LDSU)

Release 1.0

Description

Digital LDAP Directory Synchronizer Utility (LDSU) is a software tool that provides directory data exchange between a central LDAP directory and virtually any other directory or database. LDSU can provide a necessary component to incorporate an enterprise-wide Meta-Directory service by providing a method to synchronize all directories. LDSU enables the automated and bi-directional exchange of electronic directory information in a multi-vendor environment . LDSU works with any directory that supports the LDAP protocol, or RFC 1777.

LDSU is a batch interface to the LDAP directory that supports both import and export. It accepts formatted directory feeds from other directory databases. LDSU views the LDAP directory as the central repository for directory information. When new feeds are processed, LDSU uses intelligent algorithms to synhronize the new data with what is already in the LDAP directory. LDSU can generate formatted directory data files representing what is in the LDAP directory as well.

LDSU can provide bi-directional directory synchronization between other email directories such as: Microsoft Exchange, Lotus Notes, Digital's ALL-IN-1, GroupWise and many others. LDSU can be customized to support virtually any directory. With the expansive set of features, it can be used to generate lists, such as White Pages and Yellow Pages.
