The Default Gateway

This is the default gateway installed with Netscape Directory Server 4.x. A gateway is an HTTP-to-LDAP client used for directory lookup, directory authentication, and to create and modify directory entries.

The standard Search Form on this page provides an easy way to search the directory for a name, telephone number, user id, or email address. The gateway automatically selects the best method for locating the information and returns the search results. The gateway also provides menu tabs for the gateway forms described below.

For information about customizing the gateway to meet the particular needs of users in your enterprise, refer to the Netscape Directory Server Gateway Customization Guide.
