Sample DSML Server

DSML is an XML protocol that permits directory structural information to be represented in XML. The DSML protocol is an almost direct mapping of LDAP. The purpose of the language is to allow XML-based applications to use directory information.

The DSML Server lets client applications use DSML, rather than LDAP, to communicate with CA Directory.

DSML can be used anywhere LDAP is used. However, it is usually best to use LDAP. This is because LDAP is the more established protocol and slightly more efficient.

The URL for the DSML Server is as follows:

http://localhost:8080/dsml/services/DSML
