On this page you can find out about new product functionality and changes in Isode R14.1. We've split this page into 6 areas, covering:

R14.1 is the current Isode release. R14.1 was preceeded by R14.0.

 

New Product

Sodium-Sync

This is our new directory synchronization product, provided as a part of Sodium and included as a part of the M-Vault product set. It provides direct (one way) synchronization between a pair of LDAP/DAP directories. It is particularly targeted at replicating data from Microsoft Active Directory into M-Vault, but is not restricted to this. It provides high functionality and a lot of flexibility. However, a primary design goal has been to make it very easy to set up for standard cases.

Management Tools

IMA Delegated Administration

The web-based Internet Messaging Administration provides a mechanism for delegation based on domain. This is designed for service providers offering Internet messaging to provide email services for an organization, and delegate mailbox and account administration to the organization.

Server Watch Daemon & SNMP access to events

The Isode event handling has been extended to enable sending events over the network to Isode's new Server Watch Daemon. The primary goal of this is to send events that (may) need operator attention to the Watch server, so that it can perform consolidated processing that would not be practical in the process where the event occurs. In particular, it supports SNMP, so that recent events are held in the Watch Daemon, and can be queried by accessing multiple user-defined tables over SNMP. SNMP NOTIFICANTIONS (TRAPs) may be used to alert SNMP Stations to new Isode events. The Server Watch Daemon also allows consolidated logging to multiple files.
