+<h1>Introduction to the Directory Server Interface</h1>
+
+<p>The Netscape Directory Server is a robust, scalable server for storing, querying, and
+managing an enterprise-wide directory of users and information. Using the Directory Server, corporate IS organizations can manage
+information from a single point of control, and employees can retrieve this information from multiple network locations.</p>
+
+<p>The directory server provides a simple interface to
+corporate user information. From this interface, you can:</p>
+
+<ul>
+<P>
+ <li><a href="/clients/dsgw/bin/lang?<!-- GCONTEXT -->&file=.MANUAL/search.htm#search">Search the directory for
+ information about users and resources.</a> For example,
+ you can search for an employee's email address or phone
+ number. You can find more information about searching the
+ directory in <a href="/clients/dsgw/bin/lang?<!-- GCONTEXT -->&file=.MANUAL/search.htm">Chapter 2,
+ "Searching the Directory Tree."</a></li>
+<P>
+ <li><a href="/clients/dsgw/bin/lang?<!-- GCONTEXT -->&file=.MANUAL/add.htm#adding">Create a new entry in the
+ directory.</a> For example, you can add information about
+ a new employee, such as the employee's name and phone
+ number. This feature is usually reserved only for
+ users who have authenticated properly to the Directory
+ Server, and who have been granted write permissions by
+ the directory administrator. For information about adding
+ new users, groups, organizational units, and
+ organizations to the directory, see <a href="/clients/dsgw/bin/lang?<!-- GCONTEXT -->&file=.MANUAL/add.htm">Chapter 3,
+ "Adding Entries."</a></li>
+<P>
+ <li><a href="/clients/dsgw/bin/lang?<!-- GCONTEXT -->&file=.MANUAL/mod.htm#editing">Modify existing entries in the
+ directory.</a> For example, if you have the appropriate
+ permissions, you can change existing values to entry
+ attributes, delete the entire entry, rename the entry,
+ or change the password for the entry.
+ This feature is usually reserved only for users who have been
+ granted write permissions by the directory administrator, and
+ have authenticated properly to the Directory Server. For
+ instructions on updating information about users, groups,
+ organizational units, and organizations, see <a
+ href="/clients/dsgw/bin/lang?<!-- GCONTEXT -->&file=.MANUAL/mod.htm">Chapter 4, "Editing
+ Entries."</a></li>
+<P>
+ <li><a href="/clients/dsgw/bin/lang?<!-- GCONTEXT -->&file=.MANUAL/auth.htm#authenticating">Authenticate to the
+ Directory Server.</a> If your directory manager has made
+ authentication a requirement for accessing or writing to the Directory
+ Server, you may need to enter your user name and password.
+ While the exact authentication requirements
+ vary from site to site, the Directory Server typically
+ requires authentication only if you are adding,
+ modifying, or deleting an entry in the directory. For
+ details on authenticating to the Directory Server, see <a
+ href="/clients/dsgw/bin/lang?<!-- GCONTEXT -->&file=.MANUAL/auth.htm">Chapter 5, "Authentication."</a></li>
+</ul>
