DSML for eDirectory (SOAP) is one of 3 APIs that [Novell](https://apis.io/providers/novell/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network. Tagged areas include Directory Services, Identity, LDAP, SOAP, and Self-Hosted. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes API documentation.

DSML v2 for eDirectory ships a deployable Java web archive (.war) that exposes Novell eDirectory as a SOAP web service using DSML - the OASIS Directory Services Markup Language standard for representing directory information as XML. Customer-deployed inside a servlet container against a local eDirectory tree. The NDK page is still indexed on novell.com but now 301s to the Micro Focus eDirectory developer documentation; the last published build is novell-dsml-devel-2006.02.22 and every download link on the page 404s.
