About this title

Synopsis

Explains the advantages of Lightweight Directory Access Protocol as a standard for providing access to personal information and reducing the number of logon ids required.

Review

Directory services are designed to contain all of an organisation's data in a single large, extensible, fast database. Currently, the hot standard is LDAP, so new that only Netscape currently has a commercial offering.

Mark Wilcox starts by explaining why LDAP is desirable, discusses why it has taken off when X.500 didn't and talks about LDAP's development, APIs and gateway services.

With the background covered chapter three begins with LDAP's structure, including a large section devoted to understanding objects, which are central to understanding LDAP. By the end of the chapter you're writing Perl scripts to convert CVS files to LDIF format.

By chapter five you've deployed a Netscape Directory Server and you're working with Netscape's C LDAP SDK. The section on Microsoft's Active Directory is largely theoretical as it hadn't been released in time for the book. Sun and IBM's LDAP implementations are discussed as is using Java with LDAP.

By chapter 12 you're dealing with advanced topics including replication and security after which there's a relatively large cookbook section. The appendices contain a glossary, a FAQ, reference, a section on common LDAP object classes and attributes.

The last section, which begins with an unusually personal endorsement of LDAP from the author, describes a directory enabled messaging system. Overall, a good practical introduction to LDAP. --Steve Patient
