1.1 Introduction to <strong>Novell</strong> <strong>LDAP</strong> <strong>Proxy</strong><br />
<strong>Novell</strong> <strong>LDAP</strong> <strong>Proxy</strong> acts as a middleware layer between <strong>LDAP</strong> clients and <strong>LDAP</strong> directory servers,<br />
and provides support to the <strong>LDAP</strong> protocol for regulating requests and responses between client<br />
applications and directory servers. It provides features such as load balancing, failover, query<br />
filtering, data hiding, request denial, centralized auditing and monitoring, and graphical trending of<br />
<strong>LDAP</strong> activities.<br />
<strong>Novell</strong> <strong>LDAP</strong> <strong>Proxy</strong> is completely transparent and can be easily integrated with an existing<br />
directory infrastructure. It is extremely easy to deploy, manage, and customize with any <strong>LDAP</strong><br />
directory.<br />
