User Management Systems

By "user management system" I mean the system that stores information about users. A user has an identifier along with a number of attributes, such as first name, last name, date of birth and so forth. Examples of such storage systems could be a directory server or a relational database.

User management systems store all user attributes, but Flexess only requires the user's identifier and the associates this identifier with several roles.

Flexess is designed to be independent of user management systems. The current release allows to work with an LDAP server or with our own implementation of a user management system based on a relational database. Our database application is called Simple User Management system (SUM). SUM provides basic functionality for user administration and enables you to create, search, update and delete users. SUM is always deployed as a part of Flexess.
