This guide shows you how to configure, maintain, and troubleshoot
|
OpenDJ directory services.
|
OpenDJ directory services allow applications to access directory data
|
using Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP),
|
using Directory Services Markup Language (DSML)
|
over Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP),
|
or using HTTP methods in the Representational State Transfer (REST) style.
