<H3>Definition:</H3>
LDAP is a directory service protocol that runs over TCP/IP.
A directory service is a standards-based information database that is
used to organize various objects (users, groups, devices, etc.) and
their properties (users name, user telephone number, a device type).
Directory services are becoming increasingly important as a way to
automatically share information about a person, group or device among
various applications and network services. LDAP has emerged as the most
popular directory service for TCP/IP networks and the Internet.
<P>
<HR>
<H3>Benefit:</H3>
LDAP is rapidly becoming an information standard throughout the
computer industry. Because of the rapid growth in complexity of
networks, a directory service is needed to manage the thousands or
millions of users and devices that interact on both intranets and
the Internet.

User friendly format of DN

Bind operation uses cleartext password. But I plan add
SSL3 encrypted chanel.

I had never probe operations with binary data, but this should
works (Pike is 8-bit clear!).

<LI><B>International support</B><BR>
I'm working on this. It is No.1, for me - I'm from Central Europe!

There is one not very easy solved problem: T.61, UTF-8 or both?
