Disadvantages of LDAP Naming Service
The following are some disadvantages to using LDAP instead of other naming services.
-
There is no support for pre-Solaris 8 clients
-
An LDAP server cannot be its own client
-
Setting up and managing an LDAP naming service is more complex and requires careful planning
Note –
A directory server (an LDAP server) cannot be its own client. In other words, you cannot configure the machine that is running the directory server software to become an LDAP naming service client.
