Directory Client API & Library

Many applications need to access a directory in order to perform authentication and to obtain configuration information. Isode's Directory Client API provides a simple API to enable applications to do this. This API is designed so that it is easy for applications to access generic directory functionality, and also provides additional function for specific applications and markets.

Isode's Directory Client API uses X.500 Directory Access Protocol (DAP) and/or LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) to access a Directory. X.500 DAP support is important for applications that require use of DAP, or need to make use of schema definitions that are only defined for used with X.500 (e.g., directory syntaxes defined in X.402 to support X.400 use of directory). LDAP is supported using the same API.
