1 Release Notes for Red Hat Directory Server B.08.00
Red Hat Directory Server 8.0 for HP-UX provides an industry standard centralized directory
service based on the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP). You can use Red Hat

your entire enterprise with a global directory service that provides you with centralized
management of all your enterprise's resource information.
