What's New in the Solaris 9 4/04 Operating Environment

Sun ONE Directory Server

Note –

The Sun ONE Directory Server 5.1 is available within the Solaris 9 operating system. The Sun ONE Directory Server 5.2 is available as a component product in the JavaTM Enterprise System. For further information about the Java Enterprise System, see Sun Java Enterprise System Joins Solaris.

The Solaris 9 release provides an integrated version of the Sun ONE Directory Server (formerly iPlanet Directory Server). This server is a Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) directory server. The Sun ONE Directory Server is a powerful, distributed directory server that is designed to manage an enterprise-wide directory of users and resources. This scalable directory service can be used for intranet applications, extranets with trading partners, and e-commerce applications to reach customers over the Internet.

The Directory Server is managed through the Sun ONE Console, the graphical user interface that is provided with the Sun ONE Directory Server. Administrators use the Console to grant access rights, manage databases, configure the directory, and replicate the data to multiple directory servers. Users access the data through any LDAP-enabled client application, such as applications that were developed with the Sun ONE Software Developers Kits (SDKs) for C and the Java programming language.

Configuration for setup of the Sun ONE Directory Server has been simplified by using idsconfig. Server and client configuration information is available in the System Administration Guide: Naming and Directory Services (DNS, NIS, and LDAP).
