RE: [ajug-members]: anyone know a good was/ldap tutorial or book?

A couple of years ago I built a DirectoryService façade around LDAP using
JNDI. I found the JNDI tutorial invaluable --

You need a good reference for the Java Naming and Directory Interface
(JNDI), which is the standardized program interface to directory services
such as LDAP.

Unfortunately, I haven't read any books specifically about JNDI, but most
J2EE development guides pay homage to the technology.  I recommend "Expert
One on One J2EE Development," by Rod Johnson (Wrox).  If you're interested
in understanding LDAP in general on a more technical level, check out "LDAP
Directories Explained," by Brian Arkills (Addison-Wesley).  And, of course,
you can find documentation in the Javadocs for the J2EE class libraries at
Sun's site, which will include the classes and interfaces for JNDI.

I think if you focus on JNDI, you'll find that your key learnings there will
readily apply to WebSphere App Server, and most other popular J2EE web
containers, such as Tomcat, BEA, and Oracle Internet App Server.
You may have a hard time finding a book specifically about accessing LDAP
from WAS.

Hope this helps.
