the network.
DXIM is configurable, based on the schema
definitions, to support customer defined
attributes and classes.
Access to the OpenVMS Enterprise Directory

User Agent function. For example, Office
Server will allow users of TeamLinks,
Microsoft Outlook, IMAP4, POP3 and Web
clients access to information in the Enterprise
Directory.
Inclusion of the LDAP interface enables the
following clients to obtain directory
information:
• Internet Explorer
• Netscape Web Client
• Outlook 2000 Client
And any client accessing from Office Server
V6.0 and V6.1, all of which include LDAPv3
support.
