+A gateway that connects WWW browsers to LDAP based directories.
+
+Web500gw expects HTTP requests from a WWW browser on a TCP port
+(usually 8888). Depending on the requested URL web500gw performs
+read/search/modify/add/delete requests to the Directory and sends HTML
+pages back to the browser. Web500gw uses the LDAPv2 protocol to talk
+to a Directory server. It is able to work with a Standalone LDAP
+server (like UMich/OpenLDAP slapd or Netscape LDAP product) and with
+an LDAP Frontend to an X.500 Directory System Agent.
