Abstract:
LDAP server may store data in a Flat file, in RDBMS or in
any other database. The LDAP client applications can use LDAP directory
interface without having knowledge on the underlying data storage mechanism.
LDAP can be mapped onto any other directory system so long as the X.500 data
and service model as used in LDAP is not violated in LDAP interface.
The individual entries are stored in the directory server.
But different clients may need the same data in different format. LDAP
specification does not provide any mechanism of accessing data in different
format.
This article is a TRIZ based study of patents on LDAP access
interface. The article analyses the patents which try to improve various
aspects of interfacing an LDAP directory. It tries to find the IFR, Trends of
evolution and predict future inventions on data access interface.
