R12 re-cap: Sodium

In a previous post we gave a quick overview of the new features within the latest Isode release, R12. R12 was a major release for Isode and we think its worthwhile taking a closer look at some of the new features users and evaluators are now able to access.

In this post we're taking a look at Sodium (Secure Open Data, Identity and User Manager), a new cross-platform Administrative Directory User Agent which gives flexible and extensible GUI management of directory data. 

Sodium is part of the Isode directory product set, and is ideal for use with M-Vault. It may also be used with any directory server which supports X.500 DAP (Directory Access Protocol) or LDAP Lightweight Directory Access Protocol).

Sodium includes:

• Support for Strong Authentication and Signed Operations (more)
• X.509 certificate request and management functions (more)
• Extensive built-in schema support including templates for military (ACP133) and aviation (ATN Directory) markets.(more)
• Easy Browsing and Searching (more)
• Extensive Data Modification, Addition and Deletion facilities (more)
• Flexible template configuration (more)

Sodium is installed with M-Vault R12 and is featured in the M-Vault Evaluation (here) and the Strong Authentication Evaluation (here). If you have already installed an evaluation version of M-Vault earlier than R12, please remember to read the Release Notes for information on upgrading to R12.
