There have been some major changes in this release in
terms of new functions and improvements of the product. Here is a short list.
Many performance improvements have been made to the
product. One significant is the added LDAP Cache. It could be enabled to Cache
additional attributes and optimize the rendering of themes when browsing.
A toolbar is added containing Icons that represents
different functions and a dropdown list where one can select the configured
Predefined searches.
Identity Manager has the ability to create a link in one
Directories Server to include information from Multiple Directory servers. This
function is called junction. The junction object contains information on how to
connect to the other directories and which parameters to apply and how the
information will be displayed.
You can store shortcuts to favorite
objects in the directory with the function bookmarks. You can easily go
to the object by choosing the bookmark's name from the Bookmarks menu. You can also define different actions when you use a
bookmark.
A Template Tab can be used to create a tab that
defines common controls and the look and feel like background colors, pictures
etc. All changes in a Template Tab effects all the Tabs that use it as a
Template.
Instead of using the TAB Concept, Raw Edit shows the
information straight from the Directory information Tree (DIT). It will
displays all available attribute information about an object the administrator
has right to see. It will allow skilled administrators to manage information in
LDAP based directory services that support LDAP version 3.
The webbased version now uses CSS (Cascading Style Sheets)
and JSP (Java Server Pages) for all displayable pages. These files can be
customized to provide a “corporate” look and feel for the webbased users.
More information about the CSS and JSP are documented in the “Identity Manager
Developers Guide”.
The standalone client has now a more flexible way of
storing the configurations for different LDAP directory server profiles.
