Subject: RE: [xri-editors] LDAP or DSML as local access protocol
Drummond- Yes, I understand what you want to do. I don't think its a good idea, though, because its essentially "half-specifying" an ldap binding. Its entirely possible to have two different local access protocol bindings which use ldap that are identified differently. I suppose it would be OK to mention this as an example of a future binding definition, if that would satisfy your desires... -Gabe > -----Original Message----- > From: Drummond Reed [mailto:drummond.reed@onename.com] > Sent: Monday, November 03, 2003 10:02 AM > To: Wachob, Gabe; XRI Editors (E-mail) > Subject: RE: [xri-editors] LDAP or DSML as local access protocol > > > I think we're talking about different things.
