IBM Tivoli Directory Integrator
●Lightweight integration toolkit
●Used to build connections between data sources
●Map / synchronize data between database and 1+ data
sources
●Included for free with Lotus Connections and/or Domino
v8.0+
●For example:
Get data from LDAP and PeopleSoft
Combine them
Load into Profiles DB
© 2009 IBM Corporation 7

26. IBM Software Group
IBM Tivoli Directory Integrator (cont'd)
●Tivoli Directory Integrator Assembly Lines are XML files that:
define the access to data sources
transform data entries
update the target
●Assembly Lines consist of:
Connectors, Parsers
Functions, JavaScript
Java libraries, Work entries
© 2009 IBM Corporation 8

27. IBM Software Group
Propagate data and synchronize changes
●Moves, copies and transforms data between systems
●AssemblyLine methodology provides unparalleled speed of deployment
●Maps between schemas and attributes of the connected systems
●Combined attribute flow and transformation rules create output
●JavaScript used in-depth transformation and exception handling

28. IBM Software Group
Profiles and Tivoli Directory Integrator
●Profiles
i
s
bundled with Tivoli Directory Integrator v6.1.1 (limited license)‫‏‬
●Profiles leverages Tivoli Directory Integrator assembly lines
to
Populate and synchronize the primary database tables
Publish profile updates via a DSML feed

Bi-directional AD - Domino Sync
TDI
Applications Sync adds/mods/deletes to Domino Applications
AD change Domino Users
connector connector
Active Lotus
Directory
Domino
Sync change to mail address back to AD
LDAP Domino change
connector connector
In this scenario, users are managed in AD and need to be synchronized with Domino
1.All data is pushed into Domino when new Users are added in AD.
2.E-mail is ”owned” by Domino, so changes in AD will not overwrite the ”Internet Address” in Domino.
3.Changes to the internet mail address in Domino are sync’ed to AD.
4.Any of the above logic can be easily and quickly modified and extended.

33. IBM Software Group
PROFILES_TDI.XML Flow
1. COLLECT_DNS extracts LDAP information from the
PROFILES_TDI.PROPERTIES file.
2, The assembly lines connects to the LDAP and retrieves the entries
based on the search filters.
3. The DN’s of these entries are written to a COLLECT.DNS file

34. IBM Software Group
PROFILES_TDI.XML Flow
4. POPULATE_FROM_DN_FILE retrieves LDAP and DATABASE
information from the PROFILES_TDI.PROPERTIES file
5. The MAP_DBREPOS_FROM_SOURCE.PROPERTIES file is read to
get LDAP to database field mappings
6. One by one, each DN is read from the COLLECT.DNS file.

7. For each DN, the LDAP entry and all of it’s attributes are retrieved.
8. Functions in PROFILES_FUNCTIONS.JS file are
use
d
for some fields (e.g. translation of the objectGUID (binary array to string))‫‏‬
9. Names and all mapped fields which resulted in values are written to
tables in the PEOPLEDB database
