This is the home for XPCOM modules that implement LDAP functionality.
WARNING: This code is not quite ready for prime time, and has only
been built on Linux. Once a bunch of build glue gets added, then
perhaps it will be reasonable to add this code to the general
SeaMonkeyAll checkout and builds. Hopefully this won't take long; the
first four or five items in TODO.txt are the important ones.
What's Here
-----------
Right now, there is only the base component:
base/
Implements a wrapper around the LDAP C SDK, as well as support
for ldap: URLs in the browser. Written entirely in C++;
theoretically only depends on necko, xpcom, nspr, and the LDAP
C SDK.
In the not-too-distant future, other components are likely to appear,
including:
rdf/
An RDF datasource, probably written in Javascript.
tests/
Some basic tests to help ensure that things don't break as
development proceeds.
Building
--------
This requires various other pieces of infrastructure from the Mozilla
CVS tree. See <http://www.mozilla.org/directory/xpcom.html>
for now.
