The Microsoft® Windows® 2000 Active Directory® service is the fastest growing directory service for intranets and extranets because of its rich integration of directory and security, scalability, and native Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) support. Windows Server 2003 builds on that success by supporting a number of new LDAP capabilities in Active Directory targeted for IT professionals and applications developers. Active Directory Application Mode (AD/AM) is one of the new capabilities that are part of Microsoft"s fully integrated directory service available with Windows Server 2003. Organizations, independent software vendors, and developers who want to integrate their applications with a directory service now have an additional capability within Active Directory that provides numerous benefits.
The beta release of Active Directory Application Mode is now available for download from https://www.betaplace.com. Help evaluate the beta version of AD/AM by participating in the AD/AM Beta Program.
