Netscape Navigator v 4.7

Netscape Navigator v 4.7 allows an LDAP server to be queried using a URL. Apparently, this may also be available with Internet Explorer but I have not attempted to perform this. The format of the URL is shown below.

ldap://host:port/<bind-name>?<attribute-selection-list>?<search-criteria>

An example of an actual query is shown below.

ldap://localhost/dc=matchg,dc=com?cn,mail?sub?(sn=Grun)
