True.
LDAP is an IETF standard access protocol for directory services, originally devised for the x.500 specification that never really took hold as intended - an internet-wide "white pages" with everyone and everything all neatly cataloged and addressable by way of a simple LDAP lookup...
The Open Group has certified eDirectory to the LDAPv3 specification, and eDirectory is widely regarded as the best enterprise-class LDAP compatible directory service, as reported by Gartner.
So, technically, you want to write Java code to *use* LDAP to access eDirectory.

"Novell" is a company. It makes a number of products, including "Identity Manager", "Open Enterprise Server" and "eDirectory".
I'm assuming you want to authenticate against an LDAP interface to eDirectory. ShineOn links are a good stary. Novell's LDAP interfaces are compliant with LDAP v3. Remember that unlike AD, eDirectory is an actual 3-D hierarchical environment.
