Foil 21 LDAP (7)

From Directory Services for the Internet CPS714 Computational Science Information Track -- June 7 99. by Roman Markowski
Syntax for making LDAP queries from a Web browser
  • ldap://hostname.domain:port/query
  • ldap://ldap.bigfoot.com/sn=markowski,c=US
    • sn - surname
    • cn - person's full name
    • o - name of an organization
    • ou -name of an organizational unit
    • l - represents a locality: city, department name
    • c - 2 letter country code
    • dc - domain component
Problem: the same query executed on different LDAP servers containing similar information can return very different results
