Sun OpenSSO Enterprise 8.0 Technical Overview

Generic Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) version 3

The Generic LDAPv3 identity repository plug-in can reside on an instance of any directory that complies with the LDAPv3 specifications. The underlying directory cannot make use of features that are not part of the LDAP version 3 specification, and no specific DIT structure can be assumed as LDAPv3 identity repositories are simply DIT branches that contain user and group entries. Each data store has a name that is unique among a realm's data store names, but not necessarily unique across all realms. The com.sun.identity.idm.plugins.ldapv3.LDAPv3Repo class provides the default LDAPv3 identity repository implementation. There are also implementations for Active Directory and IBM Tivoli Directory
