To help you become acquainted with the client side of LDAP protocols, this section includes the following sample applications:

Many sample use cases of LDAP are in these example methods. The pattern in each use case is to create an LdapSession and bind it to the server before accessing the data provided by the server and then to unbind the session from the server at the end of the example.

Data, in the form of LdapEntry instances, may be accessed as part of a search or from retrieving child entries from their parent LdapEntry (or parent LdapEntry from its child). New LdapEntry objects can be created and added to the LDAP directory of information. Likewise, entries can be modified or entirely deleted from the server's data.

All these use cases are represented in the EsLdapExamples.
