| # 4 - Identity Backend |
| A standalone KDC server that can integrate various identity back ends including: |
| |
| * MemoryIdentityBackend. |
| * It is default Identity Backend, and no cofiguration is needed. This backend is for no permanent storage requirements. |
| |
| * JsonIdentityBackend. |
| * It implemented by Gson which is used to convert Java Objects into their JSON representation and convert a JSON string to an equivalent Java object. A json file will be created in "backend.json.file". This backend is for small, easy, development and test environment. |
| |
| * ZookeeperIdentityBackend. |
| * Currently it uses an embedded Zookeeper. In follow up it will be enhanced to support standalone Zookeeper cluster for replication and reliability. Zookeeper backend would be a good choice for high reliability, high performance and high scalability requirement and scenarios. |
| |
| * LdapIdentityBackend. |
| * The Ldap server can be standalone or embedded using ApacheDS server as the backend. It is used when there is exist ldap server. |
| |
| * MavibotBackend. |
| * A backend based on Apache Mavibot(an MVCC BTree library). |
