Lay the Foundation for Electronic Commerce
- eDirectory 8.5 eliminates the barrier between Internet, intranet, and extranet resources. You can gain control of critical e-business processes by extending the reach of your existing infrastructure to your employees, customers, and supply-chain partners.
- DNS Federation option to install eDirectory tree as a DNS tree. With version 8.5 you have the option of installing your NDS trees as DNS trees; that is, the naming convention used for your NDS trees will be the DNS naming convention. When you and your partners install DNS-based NDS trees, you will be able to manage users in your partners' trees as easily as you manage your own--and vice versa. For example, if you want to give a user in your supplier's organization access rights to a database on your organization's LAN, you can do so without creating a new user object for that user. Instead, you can directly grant the user rights to the database using the user object on your supplier's tree.
- Unified Architecture. Other Novell technologies are built using eDirectory as the fundamental architecture, including Certificate Server, DirXML, eGuide, iChain, Net Publisher, and Single Sign-on. With DirXML, for example, you can synchronize the information in all of your network directories. This ensures that your employees, customers, and partners are accessing consistent information. In addition to being the core DirXML directory, NDS eDirectory 8.5 provides DirXML with new interfaces, a more reliable delivery mechanism for the event system, and the ability to use filtered replication.
