The Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) is an industry standard for accessing directory services. Directory services allow applications to look up information using a distinguished name (DN) from an LDAP server that stores and manages user, server, and software information that is used throughout the enterprise or over a network. Currently, Sybase supports LDAP directory schema to store, modify, and retrieve server connection information for an OpenLDAP directory service and for a Netscape directory service.
As of ESD #14, Sybase also supports LDAP for Microsoft Active Directory. You can find sybase.ldf, a new directory schema in Unicode format, in these locations:
For Windows:
%SYBASE%\%SYBASE_OCS%\ini
For UNIX:
$SYBASE/$SYBASE_OCS/config
