Hi everyone, I'm a college student,and my professor let me write a CA system,base on JSP+STRUTS+LDAP.But only I know is JSP+STRUTS,I know neither LDAP nor CA.Would you let me knwo which knowledge should I learn? And The CA's work flow.

Welcome to the JavaRanch, Micro.
Your question is quite vague. What is "CA"? What are you doing with LDAP? Using it to authenticate? Manipulating it? As our FAQ, How To Ask Questions On JavaRanch says: Tell The Details

[Jeff Albertson]

Computer Associates?
Cellular Automaton?
Certificate Authority?
Compression Active?
Collision Avoidance?

Hi,

Welcome to JavaRanch!

A bit of business: you may not have read our naming policy on the way in. It requires that you use a full, real (sounding) first and last name for your display name. Obviously fake names or "handles" aren't acceptable here. You can change your display name here. Please do so now. Thanks!

OK,"CA" is mean "Certificate Authority",My professioner needs me work in JSP+STRUTS, I know a little about them. But I have no knowledge about "CA". My professional said I must use LDAP protocol to finish this work. But even though I can't clear what I must do, would you please let me know what I must do, and How I do?

Sorry, my english is not very good, so sometime I can't describe the problem.

Gao Zhixin ,

What do you want to do with LDAP?

If you want to access a directory which have certificate names (I guess)
You can use JNDI to work with LDAP in your jsp+Struts Application.

Cheers,
Su Yeu.

I guess so, I don't know anything about LDAP. upstair , would you describe me a little more?

[Tauri Valor]

You can search Google where you could find tons of stuff about LDAP and JNDI.

Search and study and again search if you have any doubt, if you still have any doubt javaranch is always there to help you.
