IBM Tivoli Directory Server (ITDS), formerly known as IBM Directory Server, is an IBM implementation of the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol, and is part of the IBM Tivoli Framework.

IBM Tivoli Directory Server is a powerful, security-rich and standards-compliant enterprise directory for corporate intranets and the Internet. Directory Server is built to serve as the identity data foundation for rapid development and deployment of Web applications and security and identity management initiatives by including strong management, replication and security features.

Several authentication methods are available with IBM Tivoli Directory Server, beyond basic usernames and passwords. ITDS supports digital certificate-based authentication, the Simple Authentication and Security Layer (SASL), Challenge-Response Authentication Mechanism MD5 (CRAM-MD5), and Kerberos authentication.

IBM Tivoli Directory Server is a powerful LDAP infrastructure that provides a foundation for deploying comprehensive identity management applications and advanced software architectures.

History

During the product's inception, IBM named its product the IBM SecureWay Directory. This name wasn't changed until the Release 5.1 of the product and was then known as IBM Directory Server. With the next version of the product, Release 5.2, the name was again changed to include the Tivoli in it, and is now known as IBM Tivoli Directory Server. The latest release offered as of July 2007 is IBM Tivoli Directory Server 6.1.

Comments

IBM's directory server uses their DB2/UDB database as the underlying data store. In older versions, the impact of this was that it had comparatively poor performance, and required tuning of both the LDAP server and the UDB server to get any kind of respectable performance. As of the latest version (6.1), and possibly the one before (5.1), it is believed that the server's performance has been rectified.

One of the main advantages of Tivoli Directory Server is that it runs on IBM mainframes. Supported platforms also include Linux, AIX, HP-UX, Solaris, and Microsoft Windows.
