[[Explain Lightweight Directory Access Protocol.]]










----
There are four independent (?) implementations, [ldapTcl],
[Matt Newman]'s LDAP extension [http://www.sensus.org/tcl/index.htm], 
Jochen Loewer's (see below), a derivative of the latter available in [tcllib] as of 2004,
and [Gareth Owen]'s 
tclLdap-pkg 
[http://www-users.aston.ac.uk/~oweng/tclLdap-pkg/]
(but is this a derivative of an early tclLdap?).
It would be particularly useful to compare the latter two.

I did a pure Tcl implementation of a ldap interface in June 99.
See ([Jochen Loewer]).
It is running since then very nicely to query a large enterprise
wide people directory. Right now only the read/query parts
of the protocol are implemented. However, the internal [ASN] 
layer is there, so it should be rather easy to extend it.
Unfortunately I didn't release the code to the public yet.
I thought about that several times. It would be ideal for tcllib
or even standard tcl (like the http package).  [CL]:  ooooo.  ASN.1
''would'' be nice for [tcllib].

[ak]: Tcllib head provides an (incomplete) [asn] package. Directly derived from the code in the ldap package.

LDAP-based applications include Owen's Ldapper
[http://www-users.aston.ac.uk/~oweng/ldapper-1.2/].
