LDAP can be bound to several languages (Java, JavaScript, ODBC, VBasic) |
Well-known open source projects (Apache, FreeBSD, Linux, Perl, Sendmail, TCL, Python) all work on LDAP interfaces |
Netscape provides Software Developer Kits (SDKs) to help write clients and tools (Java, C) |
Open LDAP project: fully featured, open source LDAP suite of application and development tools |
Schema standardization is progressing |
The standard (IETF LDAP) won't be stable until sometime in 2000 |
