Chapter 2. LDAPv3 Overview

Chapter 1 should have helped you understand the characteristics of a directory in general, and an LDAP directory in particular. If you still feel a little uncomfortable about LDAP, relax. This chapter is designed to flesh out some of the details that we glossed over. Your immediate goal should be to understand the basic building blocks of any LDAPv3 directory server. In the next chapter, we will start building an LDAP directory.
