for some strange reason or another, there is a ldap redbook that has reference to some webpage of ours at garlic.com precursor to TOOLSRUN for employee directory was CJNTEL ... posting with old email from 1981 proposing a CJNTEL-based public key infrastructure http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2006w.html#12 more secure communication over the network other posts with old email (from 70s & early 80s) mentioning CJNTEL (and maybe some TOOLSRUN) http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2006w.html#16 intersection between autolog command and cmsback (more history) http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2006w.html#25 To RISC or not to RISC http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2006w.html#44 more secure communication over the network http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2006y.html#7 Securing financial transactions a high priority for 2007 http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2007b.html#7 information utility then there was line told top executives that the internal network had to be converted to SNA ... because PROFS was an VTAM application and would otherwise stop working http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2006x.html#7 vmshare concurrent with CJNTEL was the online telephone directory ... recently mentioned here http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2006v.html#32 Effi[ci]ency of branch table vs individual compare & branch ... now, of course, LDAP ... stands for lightweight directory access protocol ... a morphing of DAP/X.500 ... part of the ISO/OSI suite of protocols. The first time I remember hearing about X.500 was at ACM SIGMOD conference ... i think '92 at santa clara convention center ... it was described as a bunch of networking engineers trying to re-invent 1960s database technology. these day, most LDAPs are layered on some RDBMS technology. for other drift, lots of past posts on original relational/sql, System/R ... all developed on VM http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/subtopic.html#systemr
