Description of the LDAP Naming Services

Solaris 9 supports LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) in conjunction with the Sun ONE Directory Server (formerly iPlanet Directory Server), as well as other LDAP directory servers.

See Chapter 12, Introduction to LDAP Naming Services (Overview/Reference) for more information about LDAP naming services.

For information about transitioning from NIS to LDAP or NIS+ to LDAP, see Chapter 19, Transitioning From NIS to LDAP (Overview/Tasks) or Chapter 20, Transitioning From NIS+ to LDAP.
