| Overview of NIS+ to LDAP Migration |
| Migration Overview |
|
|
NOTE | Any user applications that are calling NIS+ APIs directly without using |
| the Name Service Switch (NSS) must be modified to call the |
| corresponding LDAP APIs to do the same task. The |
| Integration product supports Mozilla LDAP SDK. The Mozilla LDAP |
| SDK is a Software Development Kit that contains a set of LDAP |
| Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) to build |
| clients. The functionality implemented in the SDK closely follows the |
| interface outlined in RFC 2251, the Lightweight Directory Access |
| Protocol (v3). |
| For detailed information on how to use the LDAP API functions |
| contained in the Mozilla LDAP SDK, and how to enable your client |
| applications to connect to the LDAP servers, refer to Mozilla LDAP C |
| SDK Programmer’s Guide at |
