About this guide
Getting started. Learn how to download and install ApacheDS 1.0 on different platforms, connect to it with various clients (graphical tools among others), manipulate the data within your directory and integrate ApacheDS with other software. The same sample data, provided as a download, is used through the whole guide.
Audience
This guide is primarly for people new to ApacheDS. If you plan to use the server as is, maybe even for your first LDAP experience, you'll find all information necessary to do so. Only basic configuration tasks are covered. Learn more about the options you have (and many other things) in the "Advanced User's Guide".
