Directory Server Requirements

Access Manager 7.1 has the following requirements for an LDAP directory server:

• The Access Manager information tree, which contains the following information, is stored in Sun Java System Directory Server:

  • How users authenticate

  • Which resources users can access

  • What information is available to applications after users are given access to resources

• The Access Manager identity repository is used to store user data such as users and groups. Access Manager 7.1 can use Sun Java System Directory Server or an LDAP version 3 (LDAP v3) compliant directory server as the identity repository.

For more information about the Access Manager information tree and identity repository, see the Sun Java System Access Manager 7.1 Technical Overview.
