VIS provides a consolidated/merged view of multiple LDAP directories in real-time. Multiple ways to configure merges and joins without custom coding.
Eliminates AD Schema Changes
Active Directory schema changes can be managed using the Virtual Schema Manager. A single combined schema can span multiple AD forests.
Reduced Costs
VIS reduces implementation costs by allowing you to quickly deploy LDAP enabled applications across multiple existing LDAP directories. No code changes are required to the applications, which connect to VIS just like any standard LDAP directory.
Group Membership
Group membership can now span across multiple domains/forests without the need for trusts. VIS allows you to create static or dynamic virtual groups that have members spanning multiple Active Directory domains or forests.
Rapid Deployment Time
VIS enables rapid deployment of LDAP enabled applications to users and groups that span multiple LDAP directories. No complicated trusts or agents/connectors or synchronization is needed. VIS installs and configures within minutes not days.
Increased Security and Control
VIS limits the entry points for LDAP applications into your Active Directory. Gain greater control over what accounts bind and search your LDAP directory.
Simplified Identity Management Deployment
Most complex identity management deployments have the need for data replication as well as data virtualization. VIS allows administrators to decide which data is synchronized and which data is joined dynamically in real-time. This can reduce the number of replicated LDAP objects in your environment.
Built-In Auditing and Reporting
Auditing tracks all LDAP operations and stores them in a Microsoft SQL Server database for easy reporting and retrieval. Report and playback all of the operations an account performed in a given time period. Web based reports are delivered via Optimal IdM Reports™ and can be scheduled for email distribution in a wide variety of formats (PDF, XLS, HTML, etc.).
