Analysis & Planning
Implementing an enterprise-level meta-directory service is
a complex undertaking which requires substantial analysis and planning.
There are significant issues in the pre-deployment process which are beyond
the scope of this course; these topics are covered in great detail in
a follow-up course, iPlanet
Directory Services: Analysis & Planning.
Distributed Deployment
In real-world environments, an iPlanet Meta-Directory installation
(the Meta-Directory software and the Directory Server software) can be
spread across a number of systems and networks. In this course we'll install
everything on a single Windows NT system.
Advanced Administration
There are many aspects of administering Meta-Directory that won't be covered in this course.
We'll just introduce some of the basic features so you can start experimenting
on your own using a sample installation.
Integration With Other Services
The 1.0 version of iPlanet Meta-Directory requires a directory
server to implement key components of the service. Meta-Directory is designed
to run with any LDAP compliant (version 3) directory service. However,
only iPlanet Directory Server 4.11 has been fully tested and approved
for use with Meta-Directory.
