My Dears,

I have collected a few tips regarding LDAP and how to deal with Active Directory in java.

I will blog whatever I get Whenever I have the chance .

Here I will start with LDAP .

LDAP:

• Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP)
• was developed in the early 1990s as a standard directories protocol.
• LDAP defines how clients should access data on the server
• JNDI does for LDAP what JDBC does for Oracle — it provides a standard API for interacting with naming and directory services using a service provider interface (SPI)
• LDAP is a standard way to provide access to directory information
• An LDAP directory entry is a collection of attributes with a name, called a distinguished name (DN). The various types of additional data obout that DN, (e.g. phone number, email address, mailing address, security access code) may have restricted access to a subset of users of the database.

eads from right to left. Here is an example of an DN:

uid=styagi,ou=people,o=myserver.com
