CipUX is made up of several parts: on bottom is the LDAP server. On top of that, the LDAP abstraction layer CipUX::LDAP can be found. The layer for handling generic CipUX objects comes afterwards: CipUX::Object. On the top the CipUX::Task module delivers daily administration task functions to different institutions: (1) The graphical CAT user interface. (2) The CipUX shell command line, and (3) the XML-RPC daemon.
CipUX interfaces:
CipUX/CAT (CipUX Administration Tool)
- With the graphical user interface, you may perform several tasks without Linux knowledge (today CAT is a CGI based tool for Apache, but other versions may be developed effortlessly).
- With the Moodle plug-in (under development by the French team), even an inexperienced user can do the work of an administrator. It is available for CipUX 3.2.6 and CipUX 3.2.12

CipUX/Shell tasks
- There are over 242 [:CipUX/Tasks: CipUX command line task commands] which may be used by a semi-experienced administrator. They may be used for creating new tasks, writing macros, or defining cron jobs.
- You can use cipux_task_client to access them.
CipUX/low level commands:
- These very powerful commands give access to every single value of the LDAP database for high skilled users, without needing expert LDAP knowledge.
- cipux_storage_client
- cipux_object_client
CipUX/XML-RPC daemon:
Other applications may also use CipUX for administration tasks, even over the network, by using its [:CipUX/XmlRpc:remote procedure calls].
