Directory Proxy Server
Distributed Identity Architecture
The proxy provides …
• A single point of access with choice
of using REST or LDAP to access
underlying LDAP database services.
• High service availability, hiding
implementation details from LDAP
client applications.
• LDAP load balancing and failover
strategies to handle referrals,
connection failures, and network
partitions.
• Can be deployed with any LDAPv3
identity store.
