Novell currently supplies the following LDAP development tools:
The Novell LDAP server is currently available on NetWare 5.x, NDS for NT, NDS for Solaris, and NDS eDirectory (for NetWare, NT, Solaris, and Linux).
The eCommerce beans provide easy-to-use Java components to integrate Web applications using LDAP.
The LDAP Libraries for C kit enables application developers to write applications to access, manage, update, and search for information stored in eDirectory and other LDAP-aware directories. It currently supports development on the following NDS server platforms:
NetWare 5.1™
NetWare 5™ with SP4 or higher
Windows NT* server 4.0 with SP 4 or higher
Solaris 2.6 and 2.7*
Linux (tested on Red Hat* 6.1, 6.2, and 7.0)
It supports development on the following client platforms:
Windows NT* workstation 4.0 with SP 3 and SP 4
Windows 95*
Windows 98*
Windows 2000*
Solaris 2.6 and 2.7*
Linux (tested on Red Hat* 6.1, 6.2, and 7.0)
The LDAP Classes for Java kit enables application developers to write applications to access, manage, update, and search for information stored in eDirectory and other LDAP-aware directories. It provides LDAP extensions for accessing and managing eDirectory-specific information such as effective rights, replicas, and partitions.
The LDAP Extensions and Controls for JNDI are designed to be used in applications that run on any operating system that has a JVM (Java virtual machine). The provider comes from Sun. Although other platforms are possible, this provider has been tested against the Novell LDAP server and eDirectory directory from the following platforms:
NetWare™
Windows* (NT, 95, 98, 2000, and XP)
The LDAP JDBC Driver is a Java database connectivity driver that enables Java programs to execute SQL (Structured Query Language) statements to access eDirectory or Novell Directory Services® (NDS).
You can use the Internet Directory Query Control to query and retrieve information about directory entries from LDAP-based directories.
