A range of management tools (both GUI and web-based) are shipped with Isode's Directory and Messaging servers.

 

Management Tools for Directory

 

Enterprise Directory Management (EDM)

EDM has been designed for the management of large-scale directory services. Its functions include server control, configuration of directory databases, configuration of management information relating to other servers within the directory service, setting up of replication and shadowing agreements, access control management and configuring authentication requirements. You can read more about EDM here.

DConsole (Directory Console)

DConsole is an operator tool used to monitor the status of multiple copies of M-Vault. It is also used to monitor the shadowing agreements set up by EDM.

DConsole is particularly popular in situations where there are multiple shadowing agreements as, without DConsole, checking the status of shadowing agreements would involve examining the log files for relevant events. You can read more about DConsole here.

Sodium (Secure Open Data, Identity and User Manager)

Sodium is used to manage the data held in LDAP/X.500 enterprise directory servers via an easy to use Graphical User Interface. Part of M-Vault, Sodium may also be used with any directory server which supports X.500 DAP or LDAP.

Sodium includes support for Strong Authentication and Signed Operations, X.509 certificate request and management and bulk load/dump of LDIF files. you can read more about Sodium here.

 

Sodium Sync

Sodium Sync is a capability provided as a part of Sodium to enable the synchronization of data from one directory server to another using LDAP or X.500 DAP. Synchronization is very easy to set up and a single GUI can be used to access both directory servers and manage the synchronization.

Sodium Sync can be used to synchronize data between any pair of directories but a key usage is synchronization of data from Microsoft's Active Directory to Isode's M-Vault. You can read more about Sodium Sync here.

DSI (Directory Services Interface)

The Directory Services Interface consists of three web-based applications, all shipped with Isode's M-Vault Directory Server; Personal Information Manager, Directory Browser and Phonebook.

DSI, together with Isode's web applications for messaging, supports password policies in the directory.
