Describe their role in Meta-Directory.



The Role of the Directory Server

One of the main component pieces of Meta-Directory is the LDAP directory service that hosts the MetaView and the ConnectorViews.

While the Meta-Directory 1.0 software (JoinEngine, Management Center, and Connectors) only run on Windows NT systems, an iPlanet Directory Server 4.11 can run on a variety of platforms in addition to Windows NT. For example versions of the Directory server are available for UNIX systems. This means that a Meta-Directory 1.0 installation can be spread over a variety of systems in an enterprise with the Meta-Directory software running on Windows NT and the directory software running on UNIX systems.
