Claims21
A method comprising:
- providing an application program interface (API) between a calling application and a client on a hand-held device, the client communicating with a directory server in accordance with the lightweight directory access protocol (LDAP);
- and
- requesting the client to terminate a connection with the directory server and with a local client database associated with the calling application, and located at the client.
A hand-held apparatus comprising:
- a calling application;
- a client configured to communicate with a directory server in accordance with the lightweight directory access protocol (LDAP);
- and
- an application program interface (API) configured to facilitate communication between the calling application and the client, wherein the API is further configured to request the client to terminate a connection with the directory server and with a local client database associated with the calling application, and located at the client.
An apparatus comprising:
- a processor configured to communicate with a client resident on a hand-held device using a lightweight directory access protocol (LDAP), the hand-held device being configured to execute a calling application,
- wherein the hand-held device provides an application program interface (API) between the calling application and the client on a hand-held device, wherein the API is configured to request the client to terminate a connection with the apparatus and with a local client database associated with the calling application, and located at the client.
