This interface summarizes the basic functionality available in the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) version 2. (See RFC 1777 for the definition of the protocol.)

In the general model for this protocol, objects exist under a directory in a particular server. Objects are identified by unique, hierarchical names called Distinguished Names, commonly abreviated "DN". An example of a DN:

  cn=Barbara Jensen,ou=Product Development,o=Ace Industry,c=us
 
Objects have attributes, of the form
  attributeName = attributeValue(s)
 
Attribute names must be Strings, and attribute values can be any 8-bit sequence (Strings or binary values).
