* for the definition of the protocol.)
* <P>
*
* In the general model for this protocol, objects exist under a directory
* in a particular server. Objects are identified by unique, hierarchical names
* called Distinguished Names, commonly abreviated "DN". An example of a DN:
* <pre>
* cn=Barbara Jensen,ou=Product Development,o=Ace Industry,c=us
* </pre>
* Objects have attributes, of the form
* <pre>
* attributeName = attributeValue(s)
* </pre>
* Attribute names must be Strings, and attribute values can be any 8-bit
* sequence (Strings or binary values).
