Our Customers

This page lists some of the customers that we provide with LDAP services and consulting.

De Bortoli Wines

Family owned De Bortoli Wines is one of Australia's largest private companies. From vineyards throughout Victoria and New South Wales a wide range of premium wines is produced including red and white varietal wines, sparkling wines, fortified wines and the icon wine Noble One Botrytis Semillon, Australia's benchmark sweet white.

Babel Com Australia implemented a multi-master LDAP directory at De Bortoli Wines' head office in Griffith, NSW, using Fedora Directory Server. This acts as a back-end to their SAMBA setup, providing replicated authentication with failover for their range of Linux and Windows desk-top clients, with a centralised authentication database. De Bortoli Wines' Fedora Directory Server implementation now also provides single point authentication to their web site, secure VPN service, and project management system.

MEDEMAIL

Medemail is a web site to connect Pathlogy and Radiology laboratories with doctor's surgeries. It allows doctors to send and receive secure emails and pathology results with unbreakable encryption.

Originally implemented using OpenLDAP, Medemail now uses Fedora Directory Server as a central LDAP based authentication system for web signon, IMAP mail, consumer web sites, and Radiology and Pathology upload software. Medemail's LDAP service supports public-key encryption by holding a repository of signed certificates and allowing access to doctors' and specialists' certificates from outside of the Medemail network.

Oracle (Australia)

After 30 years, Oracle remains the gold standard for database technology and applications in enterprises throughout the world: The company is the world's leading supplier of software for information management, and the world's second largest independent software company. Oracle technology can be found in nearly every industry, and in the data centers of 98 of the Fortune 100 companies.

Oracle's Application Solution Center needed to quickly implement a centralised authentication system for their network of project database servers in their data center in Sydney, Australia. These servers were in constant use for various demanding projects, and so system downtime needed to be kept to an absolute minimum. The authentication system needed to support both Windows and Linux clients.

Babel Com Australia implemented an LDAP directory using Fedora Directory Server. Along with the SAMBA package, this provides a simple, easy-to-setup and cross-platform authentication mechanism with minimal intervention. The system has proven to be highly reliable, and has scaled to the needs of the solutions group who keep the system in constant use.
