IBM Connections uses a tool called Tivoli Directory Integrator to push and pull profile information between Connections and a variety of different LDAP’s and systems (Peoplesoft HR for example).  It’s a powerful tool that can get a little complicated.  IBM just published a whitepaper on their developer worksweb site titled Understanding IBM Tivoli Directory Integrator for IBM Lotus Connections.  The page includes the whitepaper and some sample configuration files.

The purpose of this white paper is to give users a good understanding of how IBM Lotus® Connections uses IBM Tivoli® Directory Integrator, so they can understand how to look at the Lotus Connections AssemblyLines and understand what they do.
