The directory, which is based on the X.500 1993 standard, may be used to store diverse information such as corporate telephone numbers, e-mail addresses, certificates for digital signatures, encrypted data and routing information. ISOCOR Directory Services products make it possible to: Centralize information access through a single, secure repository and distribute data over multiple systems. Easily maintain and update directory contents from multiple sources. Provide access to external public or private directories. Synchronize multiple third-party messaging and directory products. Secure sensitive information through system-level and multi-level user access controls. Optimize system and network performance by replicating data across multiple sites. Simplify administration through a centralized management tool that supports remote access. Setting New Standards for Information Storage, Access and Maintenance The ISOCOR Directory Services product family consists of a suite of shrink-wrapped products and application tools that, when used in conjunction with ISOCOR or third-party products, form a complete solution for enterprise-level messaging and directory needs: Global Directory Server (GDS). GDS is a robust, high performance 1993 X.500 Directory System Agent (DSA) for storing, managing and updating important directory information. Global Directory Navigator (GDN). GDN is an easy-to-use, Windows-based tool for browsing and administering GDS or any other directory server compliant with the 1993 X.500 specification. ISOGATE Directory Synchronization and Directory Synchronization Plus. These directory synchronization products eliminate address book incompatibilities between messaging systems. Directory Import / Export Utility. The Directory Import/Export Utility facilitates the transfer of data from third-party databases into GDS. ISOCOR Programming Inter-faces. ISOCOR APIs simplify the development of complementary applications by providing programming interfaces to directory information stored in GDS. These tools are available from ISOCOR on a system sale basis. Global Directory Server: The Directory for High Performance Server Applications Global Directory Server (GDS) provides an open, highly scalable solution for enterprises implementing 1993 X.500-based directory applications. An X.500 directory server, a suite of utilities and a copy of Global Directory Navigator are included with the GDS product. X.500 Directory Server Features of the directory server include: Compliance with the 1988 and 1993 X.500 Directory Specifications. Conformance to open standards ensures maximum interoperability with third-party products. 1993 features supported include Directory Information Shadowing Protocol (DISP), Basic and Simplified Access Control, Administration Authority Model, and Extended Information Model. These advanced features greatly enhance security, administration and control for directory applications. Multi-protocol Directory Access. The directory server can be accessed from any application utilizing Directory Access Protocol (DAP), Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP), or HTTP/HTML. Applications supporting DAP include ISOCOR's messaging clients and servers. Security applications such as Entrust use LDAP. HTTP/HTML-enabled products include most popular Internet Web browsers such as Netscape Navigator and Microsoft&REG Internet Explorer. Highly Scalable, Standards-based Architecture. Support for the Directory System Protocol (DSP) makes it possible to chain multiple directory servers together, allowing system expansion and reconfiguration as directory needs grow. Performance Optimization through Shadowing. Support for the Directory Information Shadowing Protocol (DISP) enables replication of directory information across multiple sites, making it possible to optimize performance by streamlining user access to data. Robust, Built-in Disk-based Database for Information Integrity. Disk-based access minimizes system RAM requirements. A two-phase commit that allows rollback and rollforward during critical recovery procedures guarantees data integrity. Multi-processing Architecture for Maximum System Performance. The directory server boasts a search time of a few hundredths of a second on databases containing more than half a million entries. The system's multi-processing architecture allows more information to be stored on fewer machines, thus reducing hardware requirements and subsequent administrative costs. Built-in Management Tools. Automatically generated statistics and logs facilitate system administration, as well as performance and account management. Remote Management Capabilities. Almost all directory parameters can be configured, managed, and monitored remotely and in near real time, eliminating cumbersome restarts and user downtime. GDS Utilities Several utilities and tools are included with GDS that facilitate overall system maintenance and administration: World Wide Web Connectivity Module. GDS includes a World Wide Web connectivity module that opens X.500 access to Internet technology. Internet users can browse and modify directory information using any Web browser. Browse, Read, Search, and Modify requests are supported. Import/Export Utility. To facilitate the transfer of data from applications that are not compliant with the X.500 standard, an import/export utility is included with GDS. The file format is configurable to support files from Microsoft Access, dBase, Oracle&REG, Sybase&REG, Lotus&REG 1-2-3 and Microsoft Excel, as well as flat files generated by other applications. Directory Upgrade Utility. Designed to simplify the process of upgrading ISOCOR's 1988 directory server to GDS, this utility automates the transfer of data during the upgrade process. Database Backup and Restore Utility. This utility helps guarantee overall system security by facilitating the backup/restore of directory data. Protocol Tracing Utility. When and if interoperability problems occur during installation, this utility facilitates system configuration. Global Directory Navigator: Browse and Administer X.500 Directories Global Directory Navigator (GDN) is an easy-to-use, Windows-based X.500 Administrative Directory User Agent which allows administrators to manipulate and manage GDS. Supported features include: Multiple simultaneous connections to different directories. Searching, reading and comparing individual entries. Adding and modifying entries and attributes. Set-up and administration of access control. Configuration of adjacent directory servers, including knowledge references. Definition of Subtrees (e.g. for replication). Creation, suspension, and termination of shadowing agreements. Definition and update of the database schema. Definition and update of security, including authentication policy, prescriptive entry access control, defined managers, etc. Directory Import/Export Utility: Load and Update the Directory from External Sources ISOCOR's Windows-based Directory Import / Export Utility is a key administrator tool for loading and updating the directory from non-X.500 sources. Features include: Creation of filters for common file formats including Microsoft Access and Excel, Lotus 1-2-3 and others. Flexible directory entries with administrator-selectable parameters of the directory tree. Support for export with access control to X.500 data repositories including e-mail directories and other databases. Periodic or ad hoc updates of directory contents. ISOGATE Directory Synchronization and ISOGATE Directory Synchronization Plus: Eliminate Address Book Incompatibilities  ISOCOR's ISOGATE Directory Synchronization and ISOGATE Directory Synchronization Plus products use an X.500-based structure to keep address books on LAN-based e-mail systems up-to-date, ensuring that all record additions, deletions, and modifications made within one address book are propagated to all other address books via the GDS. ISOCOR Programming Interfaces: Application Developer Access to the Directory In order to simplify the process of developing complementary applications to ISOCOR Directory Services products, programming interfaces are available on a system sale basis.These API's use the DAP protocol to allow the integration of third-party directory applications with GDS.
