Global Directory Conguration
LDAP
Organizations with remote and international campuses will have their local endpoints reporting
to a local Global Directory server. Since Global Management System supports LDAP, the Global
Directory will replicate the directory entries to and from LDAP. The information replicated onto the
LDAP server from one Global Directory can then be replicated to another Global Directory within
that organization. As a result, campus A Global Directory will have the same directory information
as campus B Global Directory. The Global Directory will replicate the information into LDAP
every 15 minutes. Note that entries from an LDAP or ILS server imported via Global Directory
replication from LDAP will be designated with a blue booklet icon.
Figure 3.4 LDAP Representation
The Microsoft version of LDAP2.0 is supported in Global Management System.
NOTE
Only entries in the Default Address Book (i.e., “Main”) will be replicated. The entries in the
other address book will not be replicated.
