Global Directory Conguration
Adding LDAP and ILS Support
Support for your Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) and Internet Locator Server
(ILS) server is a new feature and poses many advantages. LDAP support can be used in email
programs and Web Browsers to access directory listings. ILS is a dynamic directory service
which maintains a dynamic database of users online to facilitate real-time communication over IP
for Microsoft NetMeeting™.
One reason to congure your LDAP and ILS Server for the Global Address book, since the
Global Directory is LDAP-compliant and ILS compliant, is to replicate the Global Directory
information to all networked Global Address Books. Instead of having to import address books
via the “Import” feature in Global Directory, automated replication of the directory information
occurs when you have LDAP or ILS support.
