<h1 class="topictitle1">EIM domain controller</h1>
<div><p>This information explains why you would want to use an Enterprise
Identity Mapping (EIM) domain controller.</p>
<p>An <em>EIM domain controller</em> is a Lightweight Directory
Access Protocol (LDAP) server that is configured to manage one or more EIM
domains. An <em>EIM domain</em> is an LDAP directory that consists of all the
EIM identifiers, EIM associations, and user registries that are defined in
that domain. Systems (EIM clients) participate in the EIM domain by using
the domain data for EIM lookup operations. </p>
<p>Currently, you can configure the IBM<sup>®</sup> Directory Server on some IBM <img src="eserver.gif" alt="e(logo)server" /> platforms to act as an EIM
domain controller. Any system that supports the EIM APIs can participate as
a client in the domain. These client systems use EIM APIs to contact an EIM
domain controller to perform <a href="rzalveservereimmaplookup.htm#rzalveservereimmaplookup">EIM lookup operations</a>.
The location of the EIM client determines whether the EIM domain controller
is a local or remote system. The domain controller is <em>local</em> if the
EIM client is running on the same system as the domain controller. The domain
controller is <em>remote</em> if the EIM client is running on a separate system
from the domain controller.</p>
<p><strong>Note:</strong> If you plan to configure a directory server on a remote system,
the directory server must provide EIM support. EIM requires that the domain
controller be hosted by a directory server that supports Lightweight Directory
Access Protocol (LDAP) Version 3. Additionally, the directory server product
must be configured to accept the <a href="rzalv_eim_ldap_schema.htm#rzalv_eim_ldap_schema">EIM
schema</a>. The IBM Directory Server for iSeries™ and the IBM Directory Server V5.1 provide this support.</p>
