2145.0. "LDAP support ?" by SIOG::rasmodem3.dbo.dec.com::dub03::b_rafferty () Tue Apr 22 1997 15:28

Are there any plans to include LDAP support for address lookup in a future 
release of TeamLinks ?

Thanks,
Bill.

V3 (currently in field test) uses LDAP when TeamLinks
is used as an Internet mail client. ALL-IN-1, MailWorks,
and Exchange support use the directory services associated
with their type of server.

2145.2What about LDAP in Office Server?TEAMLK::alfras1_port27.alf.dec.com::teamlk::maximousTue Apr 22 1997 16:546
Office Server has LDAP support. If TeamLinks is connecting to
Office Server, does this mean it would be using LDAP with Office Server?

I'm confused.

Signe,

I believe, but don't have a quick way to confirm, that DIGITAL
Office Server will be supporting the ALL-IN-1 interface to its
directory as well as LDAP. I believe they have a requirement to
work with shipping versions of TeamLinks, so I cannot imagine
that LDAP is the only interface to their directory.

Or did I misunderstand?

    To confirm the Office Server position:
    
    Office Server supports both X.500 DAP directories (e.g. Digital X.500)
    and LDAP directories (e.g. PMDF-X500). This is for VT access and Data
    Server (aka AIDA) access for TeamLinks, MAPI driver etc.
    
    Currently ALL-IN-1 V3.2 supports X.500 DAP directories only.
    
    If you are using Digital MAILbus 400 then you would probably be using
    Digital X.500. If not then you can choose which directory flavour you
    want.

    As an aside, the terminology here tends to get a bit non-rigorous. The
    following definitions might help:
    
    X.500 DAP directory - One that supports the DAP protocol and the
                          associated XDS API as a means of communicating
                          with it.
    
    LDAP directory -      One that supports the LDAP protocol and its
                          associated (but unnamed) API. Typically this
                          means that a "front end" supporting the LDAP
                          protocol and API has been tacked on to an X.500
                          DAP directory (as in the case of PMDF-X500) but
                          it can mean a NON-X.500 directory, supporting
                          LDAP only (e.g. University of Michigan SLAPD).
2145.5Multiple protocols supportedTEAMLK::alfras1_port34.alf.dec.com::teamlk::maximousWed Apr 23 1997 09:224
Office Server supports multiple directory interfaces, with LDAP being 
one of them (I think). I'm quite unclear on this though.
