What is an Enterprise Directory Service (eDS)?
An Enterprise Directory contains critical customization information for people, processes, resources and groups (on-campus and off)
An identity management system is an integral component of an eDS. It contains processes and infrastructure for the creation, maintenance and retirement of UserIDs and accounts (Uwin ID).

Goals of the ProjectBuild a trusted and authoritative
data source for University of Windsor resources. One that is robust, flexible, general-purpose, standards-based– Always on, always there
UWin eDSUWin eDS
Goals (In doing so….) Move toward a enterprise-wide, general-
purpose, standard protocol directory and away from special purpose, system specific directories and data passing
Develop a process for identity management and relationship management.
example: one person with staff/student/alumni roles

Goals (Cont’d)Provide authentication services,

2004/2005 AccomplishmentsOn-line campus “directory” for
searching people, locations and extensions.
Opportunistic projects (if we build it they will come)– Experts list - Heat Interface– Class notification - Software Depot

What lies ahead?Continue with unfinished business
– UserID lifecycle programs (still much to accomplish here)
Notes ConnectorUWin admin application - tools to
allow HelpDesk staff to handle calls and exceptions.

Also ahead?New services when they arrive
– Learning Management SystemNovell connectorEnhancement to online campus
“directory” (similar to sessionals)– Need to get a better handle on the policy
issues. E-mail aliases and vanity e-mail.
