| | Lightweight Directory Access Protocol - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Directories such as OpenLDAP and its predecessors from the University of Michigan, though primarily designed as native repositories optimized for access by LDAP rather than as a gateway to X.500 protocols as was provided in ISODE, are nevertheless no more "LDAP directories" than any other directory accessible by the LDAP protocol. | | | In computer networking, the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol, or LDAP, is a standardized networking protocol designed for querying and modifying directory services. | | | The IETF designed and specified LDAP as a better way to make use of X.500 directories - having found the original Directory Access Protocol (DAP) too complex for simple internet clients to use. |

| | Introduction to LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) |
| | With a relatively simple replication model and access protocol, as well as the ability to discover servers on a local network, its creation was necessary due to the growth in client-server computing where users might exist on a number of servers. | | | LDAP provides client-server access to directories over a computer network and is therefore a directory service. | | | The Unix password file can be considered a directory of computer accounts. |

| | Lightweight Directory Access Protocol |
| | LDAP is an important protocol to IP networking and is therefore important to the development and administration of mobile data applications. | | | Being neither a directory nor a database, LDAP is an access protocol that defines operations for how clients can access and update data in a directory environment. | | | A directory is a means of storing and retrieving cross-referenced data. |

| | As a result, LDAP queries are much smaller than DAP's and its source code is about 4.4 times smaller than DAP's. | | | As with any distributed directory service, the reply always references the same entry, regardless of which server is queried. | | | Because DAP is too heavyweight and difficult to easily implement, the University of Michigan, with help from the ISODE Consortium, designed and developed LDAP. |

| | In X.500, the Directory System Agent (DSA) is the database in which directory information is stored. | | | These objects may be files (as in a file system directory listing), network entities (as in a network naming services such as Novell's NDS), or other types of entities. | | | The agents represent the user or program and the directory, respectively. |

| | EBN - Lightweight Directory Access Protocol |
| | An X.500 directory could be run on a mainframe, minicomputer, or other high-horsepower machine, while individuals with PCs and other computationally challenged machines could use LDAP to access the directory. | | | LDAP can be used to get information from a directory (such as finding out a user's e-mail address), as well as to store information (such as creating a new account). | | | However, in the case of failed queries (where, for example, a search is made for an entry that does not exist in one LDAP directory, but might exist in another), LDAP 3 provides a method for the LDAP server that's getting the initial request to return a referral to another LDAP server. |

| | X.500: Directory Access Protocol (DAP) Overview |
| | X.500, the directory Access Protocol (DAP) by ITU-T (X.500) and also ISO (ISO/IEC 9594), is a standard way to develop an electronic directory of people in an organization so that it can be part of a global directory available to anyone in the world with Internet access. | | | The user interface program for access to one or more DSAs is a Directory User Agent (DUA). | | | LDAP offers much of the same basic functionality as DAP and can be used to query data from proprietary directories as well as from an open X.500 service. |

| | Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) |
| | LDAP directories are designed to support a high volume of queries, but the data stored in the directory does not change very often. | | | X.500 is an international standard for directories and full-featured, but it is also complex, requiring a lot of computing resources and the full OSI stack. | | | The server either answers the query, refers the query to another LDAP server, or accepts the information for incorporation into the directory, based on the permission of the user. |

| | Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) |
| | If the client application is attempting to modify information an LDAP directory, the server verifies that the user has permission to make the change and then adds or updates the information. | | | In the event of a query, the server either answers the query or, if it can not answer locally, it can refer the querent to an LDAP server which does have the answer. | | | The server can use a variety of databases to store a directory, each optimized for quick and copious read operations. |

| | Directory access protocol |
| | Because LDAP defines what operations can be performed to query and modify information in a directory and how information in a directory can be securely accessed, you can use LDAP to find or enumerate directory objects and to query or administer Active Directory. | | | Active Directory clients must communicate with computers running Active Directory during logon to the network and when searching for shared resources. | | | For more information about LDAP see, the Internet Engineering Task Force at the The Internet Engineering Task Force Web site. |

| | LDAP, Lightweight Directory Access Protocol, is an Internet protocol that email and other programs use to look up information from a server. | | | LDAP was designed at the University of Michigan to adapt a complex enterprise directory system (called X.500) to the modern Internet. | | | LDAP is appropriate for any kind of directory-like information, where fast lookups and less-frequent updates are the norm. |
