Chapter 1 Introduction TIBCO ActiveMatrix® Adapter for LDAP brings LDAP servers into the TIBCO interoperability framework. The adapter allows applications configured for the TIBCO environment to communicate with LDAP servers without any knowledge of LDAP protocol, LDAP APIs, and LDAP server implementation. Applications can use messages on either the JMS or TIBCO Rendezvous transport to retrieve information from or update LDAP servers, or receive changes occurring on the LDAP servers. This document provides an overview of the product as a whole as well as individual components. This chapter introduces basic concepts of adapters. Topics • Adapter Overview • Adapter Components • Adapter Key Terms • Adapter Services • Adapter Life Cycle
