Hello all,
	I'm newbie to LDAP. These days I'm working to provide security to
the application servers(web, e-mail, file, ... servers) thru LDAP. So in
this context, I've here a basic set of questions on LDAP.

   *	What are the main applications of LDAP?

   *	How can I provide security thru LDAP? (Authentication
implementation details)

   *	If a client sends the http request to a web server what must I do
in order for the web server to contact the LDAP server?(Automatically)

	Any help in this direction is greatly appreciated. Thanx in
advance.

with regards,
