What is the LDAP BC?

LDAP (v3) is the Light weight directory Access protocol (RFC 3377). An Internet standard for accessing a directory (such as an address book) over TCP/IP. The Binding Component wraps the JBI interface. Users use this component to access operations that the LDAP provides to the open-esb world.
LDAP Binding Component provides the services to add, search, update, and delete on LDAP directory. The Binding Component conforms to the JBI specification and enables LDAP server integration in a JBI environment. The LDAP component consists of two modules: run-time JBI module and design-time NetBeans plugin.
LDAP Binding Component run-time module implements interfaces defined in the JBI framework and interacts with the external LDAP server for managing the directory services. The run-time uses LDAP v3 to interact with LDAP directory server.
Design time NetBeans modules provides visual configuration of the binding component. It also defines how other components can integrate within the JBI framework. Users can update properties for the component and incorporate LDAP components with others in deployable service assembly.
