Features and Benefits

Performance and Scalability
The Directory Server delivers high performance and can scale to handle large, global deployments, including multiple LDAP databases individually configured to respond to a particular suffix or domain. Indexing based on directory attributes enhances performance in distributed environments.

Unified Messaging
The Directory Server provides unified administration for functions such as import/export, schema extensions, indexing, configuration, and dynamic specification of data and protocol management and monitoring. Logging and reporting of operational, protocol and performance-related data is enabled through Mirapoint log files and Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) traps.

Reliability and Security
The Directory Server is built on a locked down hardened operating system with no known exploits. SSL and TLS protocols are supported for additional mail server protection and the administration interface is secured over an SSH connection. The Directory Server also has field proven 99.999% uptime.

LDAP Interoperability
The Directory Server is LDAPv3-compliant and works seamlessly with standards-based protocols including other Mirapoint appliances. It also supports directory chaining and referrals, and can both import and export LDAP Data Interchange Format (LDIF) files.
