ForgeRock Directory Services

Installation

This guide shows you how to install and remove Directory Services software.

Component Description

Directory Server and Tools

Pure Java, high-performance server that can be configured as:

  • An LDAPv3 directory server with the additional capability to serve directory data to REST applications over HTTP.

  • An LDAPv3 directory proxy server providing a single point of access to underlying directory servers.

  • A replication server handling replication traffic with directory servers and with other replication servers, receiving, sending, and storing changes to directory data.

Server distributions include command-line tools for installing, configuring, and managing servers. The tools make it possible to script all operations.

DSML Gateway (deprecated)

DSML support is available through the gateway, which is a Java web application that you install in a web container.

REST to LDAP Gateway

In addition to the native server support for REST over HTTP, the REST to LDAP gateway is a Java web application that lets you configure REST access to any LDAPv3 directory server.

Java APIs

Java server-side APIs for server plugins that extend directory services.

All Java APIs have interface stability: Evolving. Be prepared for incompatible changes in both major and minor releases.
