Using Directory Services to Manage Users and
Groups
The Enterprise Server Administration Server provides access to your application
data about user accounts, group lists, access privileges, organization units, and
other user- and group-specific information.
User and group information is stored in a directory server such as Netscape
Directory Server, which supports Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP).
LDAP is an open directory access protocol that runs over TCP/IP and is scalable to
a global size and millions of entries.
