Series title: Directory Services Markup Language Server The Directory Services


Series title: Directory Services Markup Language Server
The Directory Services Markup Language v1.0 (DSMLv1) provides a means for representing directory structural information as an XML document.DSMLv2 goes further, providing a method for expressing directory queries and updates and the results of these operations as XML documents. These XML files can be transported over HTTP to and from a server that interprets and generates them. Thus DSML satisfies the requirements of bridging the LDAP technology with devices and technologies that uses the internet standards. The paper deals with design and implementation of generic gateway server API's (i.e the DSML server), which would be helpful for accessing any directory server using the internet standards.
