The "java.naming.ldap.factory.socket" environment property enables custom socket factories to be configured for use by the contexts. This property accepts the name of the socket factory class from which a socket factory gets instantiated.

The problem with specifying the socket factory class is that users have to write seperate socket factory classes whenever the parameters used in socket factory construction vary. Ideally, they would like to specify a socket factory
instance instead.
