1.4 The LDAP Proxy Environment

NetIQ LDAP Proxy is completely transparent and can be easily integrated with an existing directory infrastructure. It is extremely easy to deploy, manage, and customize with any LDAP directory.

The LDAP Proxy server requests for various LDAP events from the back-end directories (for example eDirectory or any other LDAP directory) and sends the events back to the LDAP Clients.

Figure 1-3 is a graphical representation of the NetIQ LDAP Proxy environment.
