The Adabas Directory Server provides central management of directory services. It runs as either a Windows service or a UNIX daemon. All directory information required to accomplish communication between clients and servers is obtained from the Directory Server. Only Directory Server address information, essentially the host and port of the Directory Server, is required for clients and servers to use the Directory Server.
This document describes the new and changed features of Version 5.9_SP1 of the Adabas Directory Server.
This release delivers both a C and a Java implementation of the Directory Server. The traditional implementation, written in C, is installed by default. A script is provided to change the implementation to a Java based Directory Server.
Fixes to Adabas Directory Server 5.9_SP1 on Linux, UNIX and Windows are delivered using the Software AG Update Manager. Please see Installing and Uninstalling Adabas Directory Server for further details.
Fixes to Adabas Directory Server on z/OS will be delivered as new source and/or .tar file updates.
