-
- <P>
- The Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) is a protocol for accessing
- online directory services. It runs directly over TCP, and can be used to
- access a standalone LDAP directory service or to access a directory service
- that is back-ended by X.500. For a good overview of LDAP-based directory
- service, read this document:

- Introduction to the SLAPD and SLURPD Administrator's Guide </A>
- <P>
- The most widely used implementation of LDAP was written at the University of
- Michigan, and development is currently being supported by the National Science
- Foundation under Grant No. NCR-9416667.

- Porting notes for ldap-3.3 to SCO OpenServer 5.0.4
- <P>
- This is based on the ldap-3.3 source code from:

- ftp://terminator.rs.itd.umich.edu/ldap/ldap-3.3.tar.Z
- <P>
- With patches from

- Which cover a wide range of problems.
- <P>
- Slurpd doesn't work because the current implementation is threaded, and
- OpenServer doesn't have threads. You might be able to get it working with
- the free Pthreads implementation.
- <P>
- The ldap backend is GNU dbm, so you will have to have that installed on
- your system.
- <P>
- It was necessary to remove a number of references to sys/file.h and
- sys/filio.h to compile all the programs.
- <P>
- In util.c (part of ud), there is a routine that checks the return value of
- free(S). This is a no-no. Changed so return of free is not checked.
- <P>
- This package passed all the make tests, except the one for slurpd.
