Novell's NDS
Developer's Guide "Novell's hard-earned experience deploying NDS in thousands of customer sites, supporting millions of daily users, has taught us a lot about how to build applications and services that really get the most out of a directory service. We're glad to share that experience with developers like you through this book. "Building directory-enabled applications and services with NDS means delivering more value, more customer benefit. That's the promise of directories giving developers more time and technologies with which to innovate, and giving customers more return for their investment. Together, it's an unbeatable combination." Dr. Eric Schmidt, Chairman and CEO, Novell, Inc. Leverage the Power of Novell Directory Services
