Q.
How important is LDAP?
A.
LDAP is becoming the standard for accessing directory information over the Internet or intranets. Novell is leading the charge for LDAP adoption by providing a scalable, secure, manageable, replicated LDAP directory via NDS. The LDAP standard will bring common, platform-independent, APIs to developers. In other words, products leveraging a directory service such as NDS will come to market quicker and will be less expensive to develop.
LDAP Services for NDS allows you to easily publish your organization's information to your intranet and to the Internet, while still maintaining control, through NDS, over who can access your information.
