How VIS Aides LDAP Migration

When the VIS is used for LDAP migration, it can tackle with any barrier that may come with the process. It has OOB capabilities that can manage schema differences across a number of LDAP directories. It is then easy to configure object class as well as attribute mappings which use an easy point-and-click interface. This way, administrators can map one LDAP directory into another with ease. In fact, the attribute mappings and object class are how a Virtual Identity Server translates SQL data which made it appear as LDAP data through VIS. The changes in schema between the LDAP directories can be handled easily.

The VIS can also handle such changes without the need to modify one line of code in the applications. While there are some specifications and standards for LDAP directories like being compatible to LDAP V3, there are a lot of other things these specifications do not cover. This makes each of the LDAP directories behave and look different from each other. This problem of companies using Sun Directory server is solved through its directory emulation capabilities. With this, the VIS can appear and act like Sun or any other LDAP directory while using an AD as the target LDAP directory. There are also no changes on application required in the process.

The VIS can ease the process of migrating off your current directory server to a new one. It does not have to be a completely challenging process all the time. You can make it happen without any complications. What’s more, the VIS also comes with LDAP firewall functions. This works by ensuring that the data and user accounts stored will not be changed nor locked out as the process is taking place. This is really advantageous for your organization as it protects your data.
