| Ocamldap is an implementation of the Light Weight Directory Access Protocol, |
| and a set of useful tools built around it. 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. |
