Interface LDAPSocketFactory

All Known Implementing Classes:

JavaToLDAPSocketFactory

@Extensible
 @ThreadSafety(level=INTERFACE_THREADSAFE)
public interface LDAPSocketFactory

This interface defines a method that can be used to construct the socket to use when communicating with the directory server.

This class is primarily intended to be used in the process of updating applications which use the Netscape Directory SDK for Java to switch to or coexist with the UnboundID LDAP SDK for Java. For applications not written using the Netscape Directory SDK for Java, the standard Java socket factory may be used directly without the need for the LDAPSocketFactory interface.
