Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP). You can also configure the server
to allow your users to retrieve directory information from multiple, easily
accessible network locations.

Restricting Server Access
You can control access to the entire server or to parts of the server (that is,
directories, files, file types). When the server evaluates an incoming request, it
determines access based on a hierarchy of rules called access-control entries
(ACEs), and then it uses the matching entries to determine if the request is allowed
or denied. Each ACE specifies whether or not the server should continue to the
next ACE in the hierarchy. The collection of ACEs is called an access-control list
(ACL). When a request comes in, the server determines access by checking
vsclass.
an appropriate ACL. By default, the server has one ACL file that contains multiple
ACLs.
