Operations  
 
 

An LDAP directory is a database with a limited and specific role in an organization. It offers performance advantages over conventional databases, and its operations are familiar to database users.

 
 
  Security  
 

You can restrict access to CFLDAP operations by setting the user name and password attributes. You could, for instance, allow queries by all users but limit update operations to qualified users.

 
 
  Query  
 

CFLDAP implements the extensive search parameters of the LDAP API. You can develop meaningful forms-based pages that focus the user's search by controlling the tag's attributes. The syntax permits a high level of control of search criteria via the filter attribute.

 
 
  Output  
 

Query results can be sorted and returned to the browser or they can be further processed by CFOUTPUT, CFREPORT, and related tags.

 
 
  Update  
 

Entries can be added, modified, and deleted. Remote administration of an LDAP server is one possible use of these options.
