X.500/LDAP (1) • X.500 standards define a specification for a rich, global, distributed directory. • Directory is based on hierarchically named information objects. • Users can browse and search directory using arbitrary fields. • LDAP - Lightweight Directory Access Protocol • Information: http://www.kingsmountain.com/ldapRoadmap.shtml • Example: http://ldap.utexas.edu:8888/M T.Sharon-A.Frank
