Abstract:Directory architects from the University of Southern California and the University of Maryland, Baltimore County, will share lessons learned while developing and implementing directory services at their institutions. Topics will include designing access controls, managing multiple data sources, mapping data sources to standard object classes, designing institutional object classes, handling interactive and bulk updates, optimizing and monitoring performance, and managing groups and privileges. We will also look at administrative tools, replication, and integration with external authentication systems.
