Apache Directory Protocol Providers
The Apache Directory Project's Protocol Providers are Java implementations of standard Internet services. These Protocol Providers, in conjunction with the MINA network layer and the Apache Directory read-optimized backing store, provide easy-to-use yet fully-featured Internet services. As implemented within the Apache Directory, these services benefit from:
- Standard directory model and schema support
- Standard LDAP data interchange format (LDIF) (RFC 2849)
- Optional LDAP management
- UDP and TCP Support (MINA)
- Easy POJO embeddability for containers such as Geronimo, JBoss, and OSGi
Service Configuration
All protocol providers are configured in a similar manner. Behind the scenes, all protocol provider Configuration beans inherit from the same ServiceConfiguration and, therefore, they share many of the same configuration parameters. For more information on the service configuration common to all protocol providers, please see 5.2 Common Parameters for Configuration.
Changes from 1.5 to 1.5.1
Configuration has been revamped for the 1.5.1 release, along with the addition of SASL support in the LDAP protocol. For more information on changes to configuration, please see 5.2.1. Changes to Configuration.
