Meetings

MetaDirectories using LDAP

Matt Coffey & Vinod Kutty
Collective Technologies

Tuesday October 24th at 7:00pm
College of DuPage Room SRC 2800(a,b,c)

Abstract

Organizations typically maintain disjoint repositories of data on users, assets, applications, etc. that may be managed and accessed using per-repository protocols and APIs. A metadirectory presents a single view of this data, and can help streamline applications and business processes. The speakers will present concepts and implementation issues surrounding LDAP based metadirectories, and how they may benefit you.
