Enterprise identity management software for a solid directory foundation

IBM® Tivoli® Directory Server provides a reliable platform for your enterprise security initiatives. This enterprise identity management software uses the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP). Tivoli Directory Server provides a trusted identity data infrastructure for authentication.

Tivoli Directory Server software provides:

Industry-standard architecture—for interoperability with a broad range of operating systems and applications.
Broad platform support—for a wide variety of heterogeneous customer environments without disruption.
Strong scalability and flexibility—to support third-party applications. Also supports IBM solutions using Tivoli Directory Server as the default directory infrastructure.
High availability—to support an identity data infrastructure for global online applications, such as consumer-driven web services.

Industry-standard architecture

Uses LDAP identity infrastructure software and meets LDAP v3 industry compliance standards.
Fits well into an existing environment and offers the flexibility to add new directory-enabled IBM or non-IBM applications in the future.

Broad platform support

Supports leading platforms including IBM AIX®, IBM i5/OS®, IBM z/OS®, Sun Solaris, Microsoft Windows Server, HP-UX, and SUSE and Red Hat Linux distributions.
Has been evaluated under the Common Criteria at Evaluated Assurance Level 4, augmented by ALC_FLR.1 for Microsoft Windows Server 2003 R2 Enterprise Edition, AIX 6.1, Sun Solaris 10 (SPARC), HP-UX 11i v3 (Itanium), Red Hat Advanced Server 5.1 and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 SP1.

Serves as the default directory infrastructure for IBM WebSphere® Application Server, IBM WebSphere Portal, IBM Tivoli Identity Manager, IBM Tivoli Access Manager and the AIX operating system.
Uses IBM DB2® technology as its back-end store.

High availability

Maintains high availability with master/subordinate and peer-to-peer replication capabilities. Supports scheduled online or offline backup and restore.
Supports virtual list views so you can scroll forward or backward through entries in a large sorted data set. You can also record deleted entries.
Enhances proxy server capabilities with flow control for managing requests and paging search results for single and multiple partitions. Provides a smart fail-back mechanism to restore servers safely.
