Directories have long been data stores that have been authentication sources for portals and/or other applications at colleges and universities. OpenDJ brings this directory service to a new level in terms of being scalable, lightweight and adapted to the group based delegated administration requirements at these institutions. Additional responsibilities attached to this directory service are:
Data replication to other directories
Password policy and flexible schemas to accommodate custom attributes
REST to LDAP integration which is especially useful in cases where adapters need to be developed to publish identity data from existing HR systems into a directory
