- <p>LDAP Clients</p>
- <p>
- Add stand alone client and lib instructions
+ <p>
+ The goal of the LDAP Client package is to provide access to any
+ LDAP server "over-the-wire". These clients will perform the following
+ operations:
+ <ul>
+ <li>Bind</li>
+ <li>Add</li>
+ <li>Delete</li>
+ <li>Modify</li>
+ <li>ModifyDN</li>
+ <li>Search</li>
+ </ul>
+ </p>
+ </section>
+
+ <section name="Command Line Clients">
+ <p>
+ There will be a traditional command line set of clients. These are Java
+ so will be platform independant. The command line clients will also come
+ with a set of wrappers for Unix/Linux and Windows so the Java specific paths
+ and arguments will be abstracted away. The users will only need to provide
+ the command line arguments specific to the LDAP operation.
+ </p>
+ </section>
+
+ <section name="Client Libraries">
+ <p>
+ The client package will also include a set of library methods to embed
+ LDAP clients into an application. Each of the operations in the command
+ line will be able to be performed in the library. This will be used for
+ application that wish to connect over the wire to an LDAP server. Many
+ of the LDAP specific details, such as parsing LDIF's have been handled.
+ The application will not have to worry about dealing with LDAP specifics.
