The Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) in NetWare® 5 is configured and managed using LDAP Services for NDSTM, a snap-in to the NetWare Administrator utility (nwadmn32.exe). LDAP Services for NDS 3.0 is a server application that allows LDAP clients to access read and write information stored in NDS. With LDAP Services for NDS, all your NDS data is available and you define the directory information that is accessible to LDAP clients and the clients that can access the directory. You can also give different clients different levels of directory access or access the directory over a secure connection. These security mechanisms allow you to make some types of directory information available to the public, other types available to your organization, and certain types available only to specified groups or individuals.
