Description

Interface Summary

LDAPAuthHandler	Used to provide credentials for authentication when processing a referral.
LDAPBindHandler	Used to do explicit bind processing on a referral.
LDAPDSConstants	LDAPDSConstants.java contains bit values for [Entry Rights], [All attribute Rights], attribute rights, and entry flags in Novell eDirectory
LDAPReferralHandler	Shared ancestor to the two types of referral objects - LDAPBindHandler and LDAPAuthHandler.
LDAPSocketFactory	Used to construct sockets used in LDAPConnection.
LDAPTLSSocketFactory	Used to construct a TLS socket and used by the startTLS method of LDAPConnection.
LDAPUnsolicitedNotificationListener	An object that implements this interface can be notified when unsolicited messages arrive from the server.

LDAPIntermediateResponse	Encapsulates the response returned by an LDAP server on an asynchronous extended operation request.
LDAPJSSESecureSocketFactory	Represents a socket factory that creates secure socket connections to LDAP servers using JSSE technology.
LDAPJSSEStartTLSFactory	Represents a socket factory that the method startTLS of LDAPConnection can use to create secure TLS connections to LDAP servers using JSSE technology.

Package com.novell.ldap Description

Provides classes for the Java LDAP methods defined in Internet drafts maintained by IETF. This package allows you to manage entries and schema definitions on LDAPv3 compliant servers.

Package Specification

This package is designed to work on LDAPv3 servers. It has not been tested for backwards compatibility with LDAPv2 servers.
