Secure Directory Server
IBM-SDS
A directory service that centrally and securely manages corporate user and system information.
Secure and scalable directory service
IBM-SDS is a directory service solution that helps you securely manage user
and system information within your enterprise from a single, centralised
location. Based on Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) technology,
it provides integrated user authentication, access rights management, group
management and more, and enables efficient management of disparate
accounts and information in one place.
It enables enterprises to consistently apply security policies, reduce the
complexity of system administration, and improve user experience. It
supports stable and scalable operations, especially in large organisational
environments, providing a secure infrastructure suitable for both cloud and
on-premises environments.
