Macromedia Breeze Directory Service Integration (DSI) allows enterprise customers to
incorporate users and groups into Macromedia Breeze from existing directories using
Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP). LDAP is an Internet client-server protocol
used for lookup of user contact information from an LDAP-compliant directory server. DSI
supports the following directory servers:
■ Microsoft Active Directory (Windows 2003 server)
■ Sun One Directory Server 5.2
■ Open LDAP 2.2.23
■ Novel eDirectory 8.7.3
■ IBM Directory Server 5.1
DSI enables the Breeze server to connect as an LDAP client to an LDAP directory, import
users and groups, and ensure that information about these imported users and groups in the
Breeze database is kept in sync with the external LDAP directory.
With DSI, administrators can avoid having to manually add users to Breeze one by one. User
accounts are created automatically in Breeze through manual or scheduled synchronizations
with an organization’s directory service. The best solution is to combine DSI with a system for
authenticating userswhich allows automatic single sign-on for Breeze. A user who is logged on
to their desktop using their network user name and password can access Breeze services
directly, bypassing the Breeze login screen.
