Directory Services

A gateway for safe authentication and verification of users accessing organisation applications and databases stored/kept in a directory, tbDS is the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP).

Standards and compatibility: The LDAPv3 and X.500 directory standards are implemented by tbDS. It makes it possible for LDAP-capable third-party programmes to handle the directory structure. It operates on the most widely used operating systems and utilises the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol to support a variety of applications (LDAP).

High performance: The unique DBAM database kernel (Directory Basic Access Method), on which the tbDirectoryService is built, is optimised for directory access and enables sub-second response times and high throughput rates for simultaneous queries. Parts of the directory data are being buffered in main memory by a high speed database cache.

High availability and reliability: It enables floating master replication for high availability configurations (a software approach rather than adding hardware clusters) and failover in order to satisfy the directory service’s reliability needs. It offers complete and differential saving and directory update operations for backup and recovery. Database transaction processing ensures guaranteed recovery following crashes without data loss.
