Version 3.2 of the IBM SecureWay Directory includes many new functions and features. With over 18 major product enhancements, Version 3.2 of the IBM SecureWay Directory represents one of the most significant updates of the product to date. Some of the more significant enhancements include:

Fine grain access control. The IBM SecureWay Directory now allows the management of access down to the individual attribute level. A directory administrator may now control who may see individual attributes for each entry within the directory. This allows access to be managed on individual attribute level a much finer control. Fine grain access control is often used when specific attributes need to be managed by a entry owner and other entry attributes are managed by the directory administrator. This fine grain control of access is now available within the IBM SecureWay Directory.

"Unlimited" Connections. The IBM SecureWay Directory has proven to be a performance leader. To continue our performance the threading model for the directory has been improved. The IBM SecureWay Directory will now utilize thread pools, thus reducing the number of threads utilized when many clients connect to the server concurrently. This change will allow a much larger number of clients to connect to a server, which reduces the number of servers required.

Support for Kerberos V5 (server and client, including C and JNDI). The IBM SecureWay Directory now supports authentication utilizing Kerberos V5. Kerberos V5 has become an important authentication method. Supporting Kerberos V5 authentication methods improves the ability of the directory to provide a single authentication method across the enterprise.
