How to deploy a bullet-proof, fail-safe Directory Infrastructure

Directories are absolutely critical for Identity management and authentication and authorisation. Problems arising in the directory infrastructure have a dramatic effect on the productivity of any company: people cannot log in, and services cannot be provided. Each minute of loss in productivity quickly adds up in terms of money. In this presentation, Felix talks about making directory infrastructure bullet proof. Over the years, he has gathered extensive experience in multiple clients and lists all of the cases that can go wrong. For each of the cases, he explains how they can be overcome, and explains best practises for deployments.

The goal of this presentation is to provided a balanced view of the potential problems, the technologies available to overcome these, and to give a good balance for deploying highly available, and efficient infrastructure at a minimum cost.
