Support Open Standards

Novell is committed to the open standards movement, which seeks to achieve compatibility between vendors' products through common, public-domain standards. The opposite paradigm, proprietary standards, would limit companies to one vendor's offerings, thereby achieving compatibility within an organization's network while jeopardizing compatibility with their customers, suppliers, and partners.

eDirectory 8.5, based on the X.500 international standard for directory hierarchy, supports more Internet protocols and de facto standards than any other directory: ActiveX, Bindery, DHCP/BOOTP, DNS, HTTP, IETF dial-in, Java, LDAPv3, NCP, NDAP, NT Domains, ODBC, PKI, PKCS10, RADIUS, SMB, SSLv3, X.509, XML, and others.
