Directory Server Resource Kit

The Directory Server Resource Kit component of Directory Server Enterprise Edition (DSEE) provides tools and APIs for deploying, accessing, tuning, and maintaining the Directory Server Enterprise Edition. These utilities will help implement and maintain more robust LDAP-based solutions.

• LDAP Software Development Kits (SDKs) for C and Java programming languages help streamline the writing of client applications for DSEE. SDKs include a collection of high-level APIs for the rapid development of new applications that take advantage of DSEE features.
• Performance testing and capacity planning tools help deployment engineers and system administrators measure performance and perform capacity-planning installations of DSEE
• Debugging and maintenance tools help with DSEE troubleshooting as well as daily maintenance
• Deployment utilities and tools make it easy to roll out new installations of DSEE and to migrate to new releases
• LDAP productivity tools include sample LDAP applications that were developed using DSEE

In addition, Sun has developed a powerful load generation testing application called SLAMD, which includes all the tests needed to thoroughly performance-test DSEE applications. It's freely available at www.slamd.com.
