About LDAP_4D

LDAP4D is a 4D component that is meant to mirror the LDAP C API in a 4D sort of way. It consists of 4D methods - TCP/IP communications are done with a plugin. LDAP4D will allow 4D developers to implement LDAP client operations - including searching, adding, deleting, and modifying directory tree entries.

The two plugins supported by LDAP4D are 4D Internet Tools and Internet Toolkit for 4D.

A basic set of commands in each is used by LDAP4D; open, close, send, receive and a few operations to check the state of the connection. All formatting and parsing of the messages sent and received is done by LDAP4D.
