Enterprise Directory Implementation Examples

University of California-Berkeley's CalNet Active
Directory® (CalNetAD) service implemented a IBM Directory Integrator-based process
to integrate Active Directory® with their campus Sun/iPlanet™-based
CalNet Directory. Basic user account information is synchronized between
the two directories. The implementation is based on the IBMDI engine, the IBMDI
"Delta mechanism", and custom ADSI scripting
using primarily JScript® code.
Documentation on the integration process as well as details for the MM assembly lines, EventHandlers, connectors, and XML-based MM export files for the MM code is available on their site.
