Directories and Security Practice

One of the leading technologies that is coming of age to support e-Business is LDAP Directory technology. The technology is derived from the International X.500 standard for Directory Access Protocol (DAP), which although robust was too complicated to implement broadly. With the internet standard of the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP), both directory suppliers such as Microsoft, iPlanet and Novell and applications providers such as SAP have embraced this standard means of consolidating and serving up critical resource information.

The net result is that Directory technology is critical to scale-up of e-Business security and to substantial cost savings in application development. Yet it is new enough that critical analysis is essential to successful deployment. iit has extensive experience in guiding clients through the details and tradeoffs necessary to successful implementations.
