Overview

The LDAP client profile is a collection of configuration information an LDAP client uses to access the LDAP naming service information on the supporting LDAP server to provide LDAP naming services. In this chapter, we will use this center piece of the LDAP configuration to discuss the planning of the various aspects of the LDAP naming services. These include the network model, the Directory Information Tree, the security model, the default values of the various profile attributes, and finally, the preparation for data population.
