IdF Advanced Adapters | Symlabs Edition have been tightly integrated with Symlabs Virtual Directory. The IdF Symlabs Edition series of adapters provides Symlabs customers with an “out of the box” solution for ACF2, Top Secret, RACF and i5

The IdF Symlabs Edition provides a simple and robust design allowing Symlabs Virtual Directory to communicate natively using LDAP v.3, with the IdF Gateway. The IdF Gateway transforms these events as native calls to the mainframe seamlessly, thus acting as the native administrator to the mainframe security manager or i5/OS. Likewise, an administration change made on the mainframe or I5/OS is sent down to the IdF Gateway, which processes and forwards the Symlabs Virtual Directory updating passwords or desired attributes. The transaction is completed in real-time providing quick and efficient updates.

The agents built natively for z/OS provides the flexibility of collecting any or all user, group or resource attributes. This ability to search the user, group and resource (datasets) changes provides the needed information for credential verification, user management, centralized administration, self service management as well as satisfying compliance rules and provide reporting capabilities.
