EnList enables the reporting solutions by providing a sever-side engine and data access clients to report against directory data. The report server is a powerful SQL processing engine. A set of management and data access clients make the serve-side reporting functionality available on the client side. Compliance with ODBC, JDBC and XML standards provides a technology to enable existing server and client side applications for LDAP servers. (see a list of enList supported applications)
enList provides great performance when LDAP directory data updates are concerned.
For example: "UPDATE people SET telepehonenumber='+33 1 34 56 78 90' WHERE departmentnumber='E345'" updates in a single query the telephone number of every people living in one department,
or "UPDATE people SET userpassword='forcepassword'" updates the passwords of all the users.
Each of these updates would otherwise imply the writing of a code sequence or an LDIF file.
