What is LDAP?

[admin]

LDAP stands for Lightweight Directory Access Protocol.

LDAP is a protocol designed to provide access to the X.500 Directory while not incurring the resource requirements of the Directory Access Protocol (DAP).

LDAP is a protocol designed to allow quick, efficient searches of directory services. Built around Internet technologies, LDAP makes it possible to easily update and query directory services over standard TCP/IP connections, and includes a host of powerful features, including security, access control, data replication and support for Unicode.

LDAP is used to store user data in mail servers, address books, etc...
