I could not understand the underlying idea for what it is all about. Can you
explain for what LDAP is used and is useful. Moreover in this short period,
I cannot incorporate it. For next release, I can try.

Hello,
LDAP is Lightweight Directory Access Protocoll.
This is a standard to get from a database informations about users (
group membership and many other informations ).
It is also used autenticate users.
The following Systems use LDAP
Acrive Directory ( is a LDAP with non-standard extensions )
NDS ( Netware ) caen be accessed via LDAP
Oracle can be a LDAP server
Mozilla, Outlook and openoffice can get directory informations via LDAP.
samba can use ldap and many linux/unix systems can store the user and
group informations ( and more ) in ldap instead ind passwd or group files
The advantage is that many system can use one single authentication and
user management database.
What could we do in clipper with ldap ?
If a applications needs user authentication for certain funciton it
could use LDAP to authenticate the users.
If the application gives rights to users depending on a group membership
it could use ldap to get the needed data.
Bye
Andreas
