LDAP Integration with CA Directory

LDAP servers do not support the DSP protocol. This means that you cannot perform a distributed search over a number of LDAP directory servers. To solve this problem, CA Directory provides a facility called DXlink, which lets you integrate LDAP servers into a fully distributed directory backbone and handle requests as if they were X.500 directory servers.

The following diagram shows this:
