Industry Standard Protocols White Papers

Understanding LDAP

Overview Light Weight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) is an open network protocol standard designed to provide access to distributed directories. LDAP provides a mechanism for querying and modifying information that resides in a directory information tree (DIT). A directory information tree typically contains a broad range of information about different types of network objects including users, printers, applications, and other network resources. LDAP is described through four basic models: Information, Naming, Functional, and Security. The combination of these models introduces a nomenclature that describes entries and their attributes, and provides methods to query and manipulate their values.
