This Developer's Guide shows you how to develop directory plug-ins using the APIs provided as part of Oracle Directory Server Enterprise Edition.
This guide is intended for developers extending Directory Server and Directory Proxy Server functionality.
Before using this guide, you must be familiar with the following products, programming languages, and technologies:
Directory Server functionality and the C language, if you plan to develop Directory Server plug-ins
Specifications for LDAP and related protocols, such as DSML v2
Internet and World Wide Web technologies
Before developing server plug-ins, install at least Directory Server or Directory Proxy Server. See the Oracle Directory Server Enterprise Edition Installation Guide for details.
If you are not yet familiar with this version of Directory Server Enterprise Edition, start by evaluating the new features and capabilities of the product. See the Oracle Directory Server Enterprise Edition Evaluation Guide for details.
Part I, Directory Server Plug-In API Guide covers how to develop Directory Server plug-ins, libraries that customize and extend server capabilities.
Part II, Directory Server Plug-In API Reference offers a complete reference to the Directory SDK for C Directory Server plug-in API.
Appendix A, NameFinder Application explains how to install and configure the sample NameFinder web application.

For an introduction to Directory Server Enterprise Edition, review the following documents in the order in which they are listed.
The SLAMD Distributed Load Generation Engine is a Java application that is designed to stress test and analyze the performance of network-based applications. This application was originally developed by Sun Microsystems, Inc. to benchmark and analyze the performance of LDAP directory servers. SLAMD is available as an open source application under the Sun Public License, an OSI-approved open source license. To obtain information about SLAMD, go to http://www.slamd.com/. SLAMD is also available as a java.net project. See https://slamd.dev.java.net/.
Java Naming and Directory Interface (JNDI) supports accessing the Directory Server using LDAP and DSML v2 from Java applications. For information about JNDI, see http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/jndi/index.html. The JNDI Tutorial contains detailed descriptions and examples of how to use JNDI. This tutorial is at http://download.oracle.com/javase/jndi/tutorial/.
Identity Synchronization for Windows uses Message Queue with a restricted license. Message Queue documentation is available at http://docs.sun.com/coll/1307.6.
Identity Synchronization for Windows works with Microsoft Windows password policies.
Information about password policies for Windows 2003, is available in the Microsoft documentation online.
Information about the Microsoft Certificate Services Enterprise Root certificate authority, is available in the Microsoft support documentation online.
Information about configuring LDAP over SSL on Microsoft systems, is available in the Microsoft support documentation online.
