Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) is an open-directory structure that provides fast access to the directory.
The LDAP authentication client uses LDAP to connect to a server and securely administer applications enabled for single sign-on.
SecureLogin supports LDAP authentication over Secret Socket Layer (SSL) connections only.
The instructions and examples in this section apply to the majority of LDAP compliant directories. Specific examples are given for Sun Java System Directory Server and a directory server managed through an administration workstation. If you have implemented another LDAP directory environment, refer to the particular documentation or contact Product Support for help.
