  1. LDAP Lightweight Directory Access Protocol

  2. What is a Directory?

  3. A Specialized Data Store • For data that is "mostly" read, less frequently updated • Optimized for read (vs. a general purpose database supporting airline reservation or banking applications which require high-volume real-time updates) • More static info than dynamic • Client-server based • Replicates data with "Loose consistency"

  4. A Directory is NOT

  5. Data that "belongs" in a Directory

  6. Data that is a poor match for a Directory

  7. LDAP Directories

  8. LDAP Standard

  9. Information Model Elements

  10. Information Model - Syntaxes

  11. Example

  12. LDAP Object Classes

  13. Object Class Inheritance

  14. Structural Object Class

  15. Entry Creation from Structural Object Classes

  16. Abstract Object Classes

  17. Abstract Object Classes • Cannot be used to create directory entries • Typically used as a "Parent" for other Object Classes to define mandatory and optional attributes for subclasses (children) • Top: contains a mandatory attribute - objectclass • Every object class is a "child" of top • Every entry in the directory must therefore contain a value for the objectclass attribute

  18. Auxiliary Object Classes • An entry cannot be created from an Auxiliary class • An auxiliary class is a collection of attributes that can be attached to other directory entries • Provides a way to extend a structural object class without changing its definition in the schema • Can be attached to an entry at the time the entry is created • Can be attached at a later time • More than one auxiliary class can be attached to an entry

  19. Entry Creation from Structural and Auxilliary Object Classes
