DSSERIES LDAPV3 is a Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) V3 service provider that seamlessly plugs into Sun's JNDI Directory and Naming framework. This allows JNDI applications to take advantage of LDAP V3 protocol features. The LDAP V3 protocol, currently being standardized by the IETF, offers the following new features (not included in V2): - Option of having Referrals and Continuation Search References to other servers returned - Security services that can be provided by SASL(Simple Authentication and Security Layer) and TLS (Transport Layer Security) - Internationalization of Attribute values and Distinguished names - Extension of the protocol to support new operations - Controls to extend existing operations - LDAP operations that can be performed by LDAP URL (Uniform Resource Locators) - Publication of schema information to clients DSSERIES LDAPV3 supports a subset of the LDAP V3 features: - Support for all LDAP V3 operations except for Controls and Extended operations - Use of URLs to perform LDAP V3 operations - Referral and Search Continuation support - Extensible search capability - Local language and internationalization support SASL and TLS classes will be available in the future. The DSSERIES LDAPV3 package provides numerous programming examples and a programming guide (an HTML page) to help get you started. |
