All Known Subinterfaces:

LDAPSSLSocketFactoryExt, LDAPTLSSocketFactory

All Known Implementing Classes:

JSSESocketFactory, JSSSocketFactory, LDAPSSLSocketFactory, LDAPSSLSocketWrapFactory
```
public interface LDAPSocketFactory
```
Represents a socket connection that you can use to connect to an LDAP server. You can write a class that implements this interface if you want to use a TLS socket to connect to a secure server. (The LDAPSSLSocketFactory class, which is included in the netscape.ldap package, implements this interface for SSL connections.)
When you construct a new LDAPConnection object, you can specify that the connection use this socket. To do this, pass the constructor an object of the class that implements this interface.
