Approaches for solving problems with Tivoli Directory Server synchronization
An enterprise directory server is a critical piece of IT infrastructure. It is important that the directory server infrastructure be highly available, scalable and reliable. To achieve this, a directory server replication topology is often used to replicate the directory data across several directory servers. This article will outline the difficulties that can be encountered when managing a replicated directory infrastructure. The article will also highlight some common replication scenarios, and problems that are commonly encountered when troubleshooting and correcting these issues and some techniques to help solve directory replication issues.

Tivoli Directory Server 6.1 password policy : enhancements, configuration and troubleshooting
A password policy is a set of rules designed to enhance security by encouraging users to employ strong passwords and use them properly. A password policy is often part of an organization's official regulations which ensures that users change their passwords periodically, passwords meet construction requirements, the re-use of old password is restricted, and users are locked out after a certain number of failed attempts. This article is intended to highlight the new features introduced with IBM Tivoli Directory Server(TDS) 6.1 release and describe the ways of debugging trivial password policy problems in TDS.

Tivoli Directory Server
Practically everything a directory administrator needs to know about the archival logging method required to enable online backups. If you want to do online backups of your directory, you must configure archival logging of the database transaction logs. But archival logging is not practical unless you put a process in place to manage the log files, deleting inactive logs when they are no longer needed. This article describes the recommended approach to configuring the logging options and managing the logs.

Utilizing IBM Directory Server proxy authorization (impersonation) within Web applications
Web applications providing gateway access to LDAP services, such as an enterprise-wide phone and mail directory, are usually designed to authenticate using an LDAP "superuser" account. As a result, the user reads and updates the directory according to the rights of that high-privileged account instead of his/her own LDAP privileges. IBM Tivoli Directory Server offers a powerful feature, known as proxied authorization (RFC 4370), which enables programmers to write applications that authenticates themselves using a specific account but operates on behalf of the real user, thus delegating all privilege enforcements to the LDAP server.
