About the Oracle Directory Integration and Provisioning Server

The Oracle directory integration and provisioning server, the central component of the Oracle Directory Integration and Provisioning platform, does the following:

• Scheduling of connectors

  The directory integration and provisioning server schedules connectors for synchronizing between Oracle Internet Directory and connected directories. If there is an agent, it also schedules the execution time of the agent.

• Data import and export

  The directory integration and provisioning server imports changes into and exports changes out of Oracle Internet Directory. DB, LDAP, LDIF, and tagged interfaces are supported.

• Mapping

  The Oracle directory integration and provisioning server includes a generic facility for filtering and mapping data to and from the connected directories. The directory integration and provisioning server maps attributes when exporting data to a connected directory and when interpreting data imported from a file or directory for input to Oracle Internet Directory.

The Oracle directory integration and provisioning server performs functions for both synchronization and provisioning. You can run multiple directory integration and provisioning server instances on any host.
