What's that site running?

You can make some assumptions based on this data.

  1. Because they are using the iPlanet Messaging Server, Apple's iTools services use LDAP to access the information necessary for mail delivery, i.e., userid and mailbox.
  2. They probably use the iPlanet Directory Server.
  3. The Apache server running iDisk is most likely using one of the many varieties of mod_ldap
  4. You can get to the user authentication data, for authentication purposes, through HTTP Digest Access Authentication.

What does this mean?
