Takamine Garth Brooks Model GB7C. I was at my local Guitar Center last week to purchase some new strings. While there I had a chance to check out any interesting guitars in their inventory. I listed to a fellow in the acoustic guitar room who was playing a new Taylor guitar and singing. He had an astonishing voice. As he left, I complimented him and struck up a conversation in which he told me about his guitar collection. The one instrument that he was looking to add was the Garth Brooks Takamine model GB7C.
LDAP, Lightweight Directory Access Protocol, is an Internet protocol that email and other programs use to look up information from a server. LDAP is mostly used by medium-to-large organiÂ­zations. If you belong to one that has an LDAP server, you can use it to look up contact info and the like. Otherwise, if you were just wondering about this acronym, you probably don't need it. But feel free to read on to learn the story of this bit of Internet plumbing.
An LDAP directory can be distributed among many servers. LDIF is used to synchronize each LDAP directory. The first step in synchronizing LDAP directories is extracting the full contents of or a portion of the original LDAP directory and formatting the contents into an LDIF file. The LDIF file is then mailed to a directory synchronization robot called DIRBOT. After several different steps, a final LDIF file is compared to the original LDIF file. The update instructions on what records to add, delete, or modify in the original directory are decided.
