This course provides students with the technical knowledge and skills necessary to design a Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) directory service solution deploying Sun Java(TM) System Directory Server Enterprise Edition 6. This course introduces the LDAP Directory Services Analysis and Planning (DSAP) process, a design methodology for designing and documenting an LDAP directory service deploying multiple Sun Java System Directory Servers. In applying this methodology to a business case study, students focus on planning and design -- not on operation issues. Optional hands-on labs are included.
