What is LDAP Browser/Editor?
The LDAP Browser/Editor provides a user-friendly Windows
Explorer-like interface to LDAP directories with tightly integrated browsing
and editing capabilities. It is entirely written in Java with the help
of the JFC (SwingSet) and JNDI class libraries. It connects to LDAP v2
and v3 servers.
