Directory Integrator, Version 7.1.1

Overview of IBM Tivoli Directory Integrator version 7.1.1

Review this section to see a high-level overview of IBM® Tivoli® Directory Integrator functionality.

IBM Tivoli Directory Integrator (referred to as TDI hereafter) is a tool for real time synchronization of repositories of data, with a special focus on identity data, including directories, databases, and operating system repositories.

As the schema for identity data varies between repositories, TDI also performs transformations on the identity records as they are synchronized. Attribute flow rules and data transformations require configuration, and TDI provides a development environment to specify these using scripting.

TDI is more a development tool than an off-the-shelf end user product. It is also bundled with products such as Tivoli Identity Manager (TIM), IBM Tivoli Directory Server (TDS), Tivoli License Manager (TLM), TAMeb, Lotus Workplace, Lotus Domino, WebSphere EPCIS (RFID), and CCMDB to extend the reach/functionality of those products.
