Developing ColdFusion MX Applications with CFML
Managing LDAP Directories

Chapter 23
Managing LDAP Directories

CFML applications use the cfldap tag to access and manage LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) directories. This chapter provides information on how to use this tag to view, query, and update LDAP directories.

This chapter teaches you how to query and update an LDAP database. It does not assume that you are familiar with LDAP, and provides an introduction to LDAP directories and the LDAP protocol. However, it does assume that you have information on your LDAP database's structure and attributes, and it does not explain how to create an LDAP directory or manage a directory server. To learn more about LDAP and LDAP servers, see your LDAP server documentation and published books on LDAP.

The examples in this chapter use the Airius sample LDAP database that is supplied with the Netscape and iPlanet Directory Servers.
