Conclusion

The major use of an LDAP directory is to retrieve information. In this chapter we have presented samples of code to direct searches to LDAP directories. We have also covered the details of processing the results, along with many tips to make the most efficient use of the SDK. One of the key pieces of information to maintain during processing is the DN of the retrieved records. With this information, any other data can be obtained rapidly from the directory. We have also included in this chapter a discussion of techniques to minimize impact on the directory, the client application, and the network through efficient use of the SDK.
