It includes high level libraries +for creating ldap clients and ldap servers. It also includes many of the +auxiliary tools needed for building intelligent solutions, and interoperating +with other directories. These include, an rfc2252 schema parser, and an schema +checker, an ldif parser and printer, a search filter parser (but no printer +yet), and a rudimentary ldap url parser. While including things already done +elsewhere is fun, ocamldap adds something as well. So it implements a concept +which tries to provide a basic unit of abstraction for managing directory data, +called a service. A service is a bit like a stored search filter that you give +a name. So you can ask ocamldap if an object satisfies its conditions, but +unlike a search filter you can also ask ocamldap to MAKE an object satisfy its +conditions. This can be really useful in distributed managment applications. +Needless to say, more on this in the Documentation section. + </longdescription> +</pkgmetadata> |
