SWC Connectors
The SWC Connectors are
Java components that can be used to unify user identity data
managed in several heterogeneous repositories under
a centralized directory. Data
source
directories may include operating systems, databases, application
directories and files.
SWC connectors were originally developed for the Sun Directory
Server and the Sun Meta Directory.
Now the connectors support any LDAP V3 directory. As a result, the
“Silo architecture” commonly met in today’s directories
implementation can be greatly simplified.
The objective is to provide system administrators, applications
and end users with an enterprise-wide central directory.
The benefits of this approach are:
It suppresses inconsistencies or discrepancies caused by multiple
repositories implementations
It automates the synchronization of multiple
repositories
It provides a unique
standard interface for profiles administration
It provides a single
entry point for administration tasks and backup
It keeps the possibility
to delegate the administration of privileges
It has a standard
alert reporting and logging mechanisms
It provides a central
support for security services such as authentication, authorization
and activation
It makes it possible
to deploy “light” Meta Directory structures, and to
evolve them to Enterprise Meta Directories at a later stage
SmartWave proposes to complement the Sun
Directory 4.x and 5.x and Sun Meta Directory offering with: A portfolio of native Javatm2 "ready to run" connectors
only requiring a Sun Directory Server
Support and maintenance of the connectors
Dedicated services to implement the directory infrastructure
Solutions and integration services to extend the directory
infrastructure to a global enterprise solution
Development of customized connectors if necessary
SWCs features: 100% Java2 (JNDI, JDBC, XML)
Total operability in TCP/IP environment
Multi platform support
Reliable
Two way flows
Fully configurable
Customized logs
Event based “Alert module” that can be extended
by program
“On the fly” capture of specific object attributes
based on user defined methods
