Difference ldap server - ils server

[Lambrecht Michel IC D EG B <Michel.Lambrecht@icn.siemens.de>]

Hello folks,

 

I have a general question about the difference between a ldap server and an ILS server (internet location server)

 

I guess an ILS server is also a ldap server, but an ILS server is only used for neetmeeting? (correct?)

can an ILS server contain any information that is not netmeeting related?

 

A normal ldap server can contain any kind of information,

but I guess you can use a normal ldap server also for netmeeting ? (correct?)

 

I do know that for netmeeting a particular syntax is needed for each entry, (objectClass=RTPerson etc....)

and that there is also a non-standard impemenation of the 'refresh' function

in order to signal to the ils server that an entry is still alive,

and that the entry may not be deleted

(for netmeeting a search must be done for the cn with attibute sttl to reset a timer that contains a time to live counter)

I do not know how this is done for a normal ldap server.... (can anyone expain in short? or give a link)

 

thanks in advance !

 

greetings,

    Michel
