Novell Adds DSML Support to eDirectory,Releases DSML Code to the Open Source Community

(February 11, 2003) - Novell is making it easier for developers to connect Web services with Novell eDirectory, to add a foundation for secure identity management to their applications. Novell eDirectory now supports the Directory Services Markup Language (DSML v2) standard, which provides access to eDirectory using common Web services protocols. Novell has also released its new DSML code to the open source community.

DSML bridges the gap between developing to Web services and developing to a directory. With it, traditional LDAP directory operations and their results can be expressed in XML; so application developers who are familiar with developing using XML and SOAP can now add directory functionality to their applications using tools they already know.

DSML support for Novell eDirectory is available now, and can be downloaded for free at http://developer.novell.com/dsml. Novell's DSML code is also available to the open source community at www.OpenLDAP.org. In addition, by downloading DSML support, developers can receive Novell's Web services engine, jBroker Web, and the Novell exteNd WorkBench development environment.
