The iPlanet Directory Server 5.0 is a next-generation directory based on open standards and is the foundation for enabling these new services. This is what separates iPlanet Directory Server from standard network operating system directories. For example, in an instance when a first server goes offline, another is continuously available to store modified data. Then, when the first server comes back online, it automatically receives the modifications made while it was down. In addition, it provides a flexible way of partitioning the directory data to simplify replication.
Flexible scalability is a key requirement to enable market and organizational agility.
Enhanced user administration through dynamic attributes enables new administrative and policy-setting features such as roles and class of service.
