XML Authority will allow you to import LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) directory structures, representing the structure as an XML element and its properties as elements or attributes.
To import information from a LDAP directory, select the LDAP Directory option from the Import submenu of the File menu or choose 'LDAP object' from the Welcome window. You will need to enter the name or IP address of the LDAP server, and possibly a username and password, as shown below in Figure A.

If you want, you can select options specifying how XML Authority will represent the information it collects from the LDAP directory in a schema, as shown in Figure B.
Figure B - Selecting a class
Once you've selected a directory, you'll have to choose the class inside of it that you want to represent as a schema, as shown in Figure C.
Figure C - Selecting a class
After you select the class, XML Authority will build a schema for it. A sample result is shown in Figure D.
