Input data collections

Each request that must be handled by the LDAP Access Service requires specific types of input data. A collection of data used by these requests has been created and collected into a toolkit context. Users of this service do not access this context directly, however the names of the data entries in this context correspond to ones that the user would use in defining mappings for output data from the LDAP Access Service.
