Schema and many more.
Directory administration server
The directory administration server idsdiradm enables
remote management of an instance of IBM® Tivoli® Directory Server. It
must be installed on the system where IBM Security Directory Server is
installed and must be running continuously.
Configuration only mode
This feature enables you to start the server
in the configuration
mode only.
IBM Security Directory schema
A schema is a set of rules that governs the way that data
can be stored in the directory. The schema defines the type of entries
that are allowed, their attribute structure, and the syntax of the
attributes.
Referrals
Referrals provide a way for servers to refer clients to
more directory servers. A referral specifies the URL of an alternate
LDAP server. This alternate server handles any requests for objects
that are not found within any of the subtrees of the current LDAP
server.
Replication
Replication is a technique used by directory servers to
improve performance, availability, and reliability. The replication
process keeps the data in multiple directory servers synchronized.
You can know more about replication benefits through the information
provided here.
Distributed directories
A distributed directory is a directory environment in which
data is partitioned across multiple directory servers.
Utilities for logging
IBM Security Directory Server provides several
logging utilities that you can view either through the Web
Administration Tool or the system command line.
