I can understand why you would be confused. What you've read is accurate ... exploitation support for these functions will be in
UDB V7. UDB V6 already runs on Windows/2000. But LDAP support has been in UDB since V6 was released. It's just that Microsoft has
now incorporated LDAP support into the "Active Directory" function of Windows/2000, and UDB will not support this till V7. Net net
... if you want to use LDAP with UDB V6, you need to buy a supported LDAP server (I think there is a product called IBM Secureway,
for example). Hope this helps.
