The Virtual Identity Server (VIS) is a directory unification and identity management solution that acts as a virtual directory layer above existing Active Directory (AD) forests. It enables the integration of identity data across disparate directories without requiring data migration or synchronization, which is often utilized during mergers and acquisitions. Built using .NET managed code on Microsoft technology, VIS provides proxy, LDAP firewall, and virtual directory capabilities to support enterprise directory infrastructures.
The solution allows organizations to apply custom or third-party schemas virtually without extending the underlying AD schema. It supports horizontal and vertical scaling with built-in connection pooling, failover, and load balancing capabilities. VIS provides multiple integration methods including RESTful and PowerShell interfaces, and can be customized using standard .NET programming languages.
