Introduction to Directories and LDAP

---

For Example...

• White Pages

  "I want to look up so-and-so and get their email address and phone number..."

• Yellow Pages

  "List me all the printers.."

• Attribute Mapping

  "Gimme the company ID number of the person whose login ID is..."

  "Gimme the email routing address of this person..."

• Namespace Implementation

  "If a supposed name of an entity isn't in the directory, then it isn't (yet) a name."
