A directory server is a machine that holds a database of information, such as names, phone numbers, e-mail addresses and other information about the people in an organization. The information is kept in a format that is accessible using the Internet standard protocol known as LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol). LDAP was originally designed as a simple Internet client-server protocol for accessing the X.500 directory service. Since then, LDAP has become the Internet standard way of accessing on-line directory systems that follow the X.500 data model. This paper provides an overview on how the Internet Exchange Directory Server works, the naming style and the schema used. This document also explains in detail how to configure the Directory Server on your machine. Before you can configure the Directory Server, you must first install the Internet Exchange 4.1 software in your machine. You may download the Messaging Server Administrator’s Guide at http://www.ima.com/pdf/adminman2.pdf. It provides detailed information on how to install the software successfully. After the installation, you can then configure the Directory Server. Please see page 14 of this document for the configuration procedure.
