    o  Seamlessly combines the scalability and distribution features
       of X.500 with the popularity and interoperability offered by
       LDAPv3

    o  Inherent replication/shadowing features may be exploited to
       guarantee 100% up-time

    o  Systems distributed around the world can be managed from a
       single point

    o  Ability to store all types of authentication and security
       certificates across the enterprise accessible from any
       location
