Directory Server & System Management Products

 

Isode's Directory products include servers and management tools. On this page you'll find information about our products for Directory Server and System Management.

On other pages you can find information on Isode's M-Vault LDAP/X.500 Directory Server, Directory Integration and Directory Data Access & Management.

 

Enterprise Directory Management (EDM)

EDM has been designed specifically for the management and systems' administration of large-scale directory services. For most of its operation, it functions as a client/server management tool with a graphical interface. EDM's functions include;

• Server control. This is the only part of EDM which is not client/server, and comprises functions which must be carried out on the same machine as the server.
• Configuration of directory databases, and naming contexts (which are the fundamental data building block of LDAP/X.500 directories).
• Configuration of "references", which is the management of information relating to other servers in the directory.
• Dealing with configuration of replicated data.
• Monitoring functions.
• Access control management.
• Configuring the authentication requirements, server to server and client to server.

EDM functionality is also provided as EDMShell, a scripting interface that can be used for automating directory management functions.

Directory Console (DConsole)

DConsole is a GUI specifically designed for monitoring one or more M-Vault servers. It will show server status, and events associated with the server. It also monitors replication agreements with other M-Vault Servers or other directory servers using X.500 DISP replication. This is important to ensure that servers have up to date data.

SNMP Monitoring

While DConsole is ideal for dedicated monitoring of M-Vault deployments, integration with general purpose monitoring systems is often desirable. SNMP is the best way to achieve this, and M-Vault supports the latest SNMP MADMAN (Mail and Directory Management) MIBs (Management Information Base), specified in RFCs 2788 and 2605.

SNMP enables integration with general purpose operator monitoring tools such as OpenView, and with Web based monitoring systems such as Cacti.
