Change tracking in IBM Verify Directory

You can track changes in the IBM® Verify Directory data for your requirements.

IBM Verify Directory, version 6.1 and later versions provide different ways to track changes that are made to the directory data. Change tracking mechanism can be broadly categorized into notification that is based and poll based.
  • In notification-based change-tracking mechanism, clients are notified about the changes to the directory data as and when they occur. Persistent search and event notification are the two notification-based change-tracking techniques.
  • In poll based change tracking mechanism, clients are required to query the directory server for changes. LDAP clients can use the change log generated by IBM Verify Directory to poll for changes.
