11.4 Stand-Alone LDAP Directory Server
The key distinguishing feature between the AIX Stand-alone LDAP server
implementation and other LDAP server implementations is the use of DB2 as the
back-end data store. See Figure 67 for the major components included in the
server package. The numbers along the top of the diagram refer back to the client
types represented in Figure 66 as examples of the sort of clients that generate
HTTP or LDAP flows to the server.
The features included in the AIX Stand-alone LDAP product are:
• DB2 back-end
• ODBC Driver Manager and DB2 driver
• RDB Glue
• SLAPD
• Server replication
• Administration utilities
• Administration GUI
• HTTP gateway
Note: The references to Oracle and Oracle driver in Figure 67 are merely an
example of future possibilities. DB2 is the only supported database in this
release.
