Hello Andy,
z/OS comes with an LDAP client which is of course hidden in the unix system services :-)

If you enter the command 'ldapsearch" from the shell without parameters it gives you some syntax synopsis ... probably the last lines are the most important ones:

"Refer to "IBM Tivoli Directory Server Client Programming for z/OS", Document Num
ber: SA23-2214, for complete documentation"
(this is on z/OS 1.9)

But since ldapsearch is something like a standard in the world, google could be your friend as well to learn the (for me) strange looking LDAP query language ...

Cheers from Germany
Wolfgang

Subject: Acessing LDAP data on other servers from z/OS


We have some LDAP servers running under Lotus Notes on AIX boxes and we
want to check/validate some data held on z/OS against them. The validation
process must run on z/OS.

I've no real experience of using LDAP.

I'm aware that z/OS can run a LDAP server but that is not quite what we
want.

Is it possible to access LDAP data on another box from the USS side of z/OS
and how would one start??   Any pointers or manuals to read??
