Abstract:
Searching is one of the most basic operation provided by an
LDAP server. LDAP offers a rich set of searching capabilities. The search
operation allows a client to request the server to perform a search on its
behalf. The search operation locates specific users or services in the
directory tree. The LDAP server executes the search (or update) command and
returns a response to the client.
Upon receipt of a Search Request, a server will perform the
necessary search of the DIT. The server will then return to the client a
sequence of responses in separate LDAP messages. The search responses may
contain SearchResultEntry (the attributes and values satisfying the search
conditions), SearchResultReference (URL of the referral servers),
ExtendedResponse or SearchResultDone (success or failure of search operation)
data types.
Faster searching increases server load and network traffic.
An overloaded server and congested network slows down the performance. This
makes a loop of contradiction. It is necessary to reduce server load and reduce
network traffic while increasing speed of searching.
This article is a TRIZ based study of patents on Lightweight
Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) data Searching. Data searching is one of the
most important operations of LDAP. The objective of this article is to find the
major concerns in LDAP data searching, find the IFR and trends of LDAP data
searching and predict the future lines of inventions on LDAP searching.
