IMPORTANT: Starting with version 9.2.8, eDirectory uses Identity Console in place of iManager. eDirectory 9.2 documentation has been updated to reflect the changes accordingly. The latest information is available under the eDirectory with Identity Console tab. You can access the earlier documentation with iManager instances under the eDirectory with iManager tab.
eDirectory is the foundation for the world's largest identity management deployments and is a high-end directory service that allows businesses to manage identities and security access for employees, customers, and partners. With eDirectory, businesses lay the groundwork for secure identity management solutions and multi-platform network services. eDirectory provides centralized identity management, infrastructure, Net-wide security and scalability to all types of applications running behind and beyond the firewall.
eDirectory can scale to billions of identities. This means that as your business grows, eDirectory can easily accommodate additional identities without any performance degradation.
eDirectory complies with several open standards including Lightweight Directory Access Protocol version 3 (LDAP v3) standard. This helps organizations maximize their technology investments and avoid getting locked in to any particular vendor's product set. For more information, see the eDirectory Administration Guide.
eDirectory is bundled with several world-class enterprise products including NetIQ Identity Manager, NetIQ Access Manager, Novell Open Enterprise Server, etc. eDirectory enhances these products by providing a fast, reliable, secure, Open Standards based high-end identity store. For more information about these products, see the related product documentation.
