| # 2 - Basic LDAP API usage (...) |
| |
| We provide three different sets of methods to send requests to the **LDAP** server: |
| |
| * The first set is the simplest. Its methods don't return a response but may throw a LdapOperationException if the operation was not successful. |
| * The second set is for advanced users. It works with dedicated Request and Response objects and allows fine-grained control at the LDAP protocol level. |
| * The third set allows users to send asynchronous requests. |
| |
| The first set of methods covers all basic LDAP operations: Bind, Add, Delete, Modify, Move/Rename/MoveAndRename, Compare, and Unbind operations |
| |
| The second and third sets cover all basic LDAP operations, Extended operations, and LDAP Controls. |
