Sun Java System Directory Services: Analysis and Planning 5.x
This course provides students with the technical knowledge and skills necessary to design a directory service solution deploying Sun Java System Directory Server 5.2 (formerly Sun ONE Directory Server). This course uses a directory service design methodology, as outlined in the Sun Java System Directory Deployment Guide, to assist students in designing and documenting a directory architecture. Using a case study and guided exercises, students identify design issues that are key to implementing a directory service for a wide range of environments. Hands-on labs are also included, at the end of the day, in which students test their design by implementing a Sun Java System Directory Server 5.2 directory service.
Please note that this course mainly focuses on planning and design issues related to Sun Java System Directory Server 5.x. Please refer to DIR-2337: Sun Java System Directory Server 5.x: Maintenance and Operations for daily administration topics.
Please note: Sun has recently re-branded Sun ONE Directory Server to Sun Java System Directory Server. You may see reference to either name within the course description and course materials.
