The next generation Windows NT Directory Services support access via the LDAP protocol from any LDAP-enabled client. LDAP names are less intuitive than Internet names, but the complexity of LDAP naming is usually hidden within an application. LDAP names use the X.500 naming convention, called attributed naming. An LDAP URL names the server holding next generation Directory Services and the attributed name of the object, for example:
LDAP://SomeServer.Myco.Com/CN=jamessmith,OU=Sys,OU=Product,OU=Division,O=myco,C=US
