 | | An X.501(1993) Matching Rule is identified in the LDAP protocol by the printable representation of its OBJECT IDENTIFIER, either as one of the strings given in [5], or as decimal digits with components separated by periods, e.g. | | | Elements of Protocol The LDAP protocol is described using Abstract Syntax Notation 1 (ASN.1) [3], and is typically transferred using a subset of ASN.1 Basic Encoding Rules [11]. | | | The LDAP protocol assumes there are one or more servers which jointly provide access to a Directory Information Tree (DIT). |

| | Important Internet Standards: LDAP |
| | Directory searches are more like database queries than pattern-matching operations. | | | LDAP servers return only results (or errors), which lightens their burden and makes a sea of distributed X.500 servers appear as a single logical directory. | | | Also known as X.500 Lite, the protocol enables corporate directory entries to be arranged in a hierarchical structure that reflects geographic and organizational boundaries. |

| | What is LDAP? |
| | LDAP servers index all the data in their entries, and "filters" may be used to select just the person or group you want, and return just the information you want. | | | LDAP was designed at the University of Michigan to adapt a complex enterprise directory system (called X.500) to the modern Internet. | | | LDAP, Lightweight Directory Access Protocol, is an Internet protocol that email and other programs use to look up information from a server. |

| | 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. | | | LDAP is used today in many aspects of directory environments involving intranets, extranets, and the Internet. | | | 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. |

| | Lightweight Directory Access Protocol |
| | Directory servers are blindingly fast at processing searches as they are heavily optimized to solve a very specific problem, that is, fast searching over a network and hence could answer queries, even very complex ones, almost instantaneously. | | | Most directory services are better optimized for reading and writing is the least optimal operation. | | | Directory services do not have a common query language such as SQL for relational databases. |

| | Introduction to Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) |
| | LDAP names are less intuitive than Internet names, but the complexity of LDAP naming is usually hidden within an application. | | | 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. |

| | Define LDAP - a Whatis.com definition - see also: Lightweight Directory Access Protocol |
| | LDAP allows you to search for an individual without knowing where they're located (although additional information will help with the search). | | | On TCP/IP networks (including the Internet), the domain name system (DNS) is the directory system used to relate the domain name to a specific network address (a unique location on the network). | | | The root directory (the starting place or the source of the tree), which branches out to |

| | Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) Vulnerabilities |
| | Although the vulnerabilities discussed in this advisory relate specifically to the LDAP protocol, the methodology used to research, develop, and deploy the PROTOS LDAPv3 test suite can be applied to any communications protocol. | | | To test the security of protocols like LDAP, the PROTOS project presents a server with a wide variety of sample packets containing unexpected values or illegally formatted data. | | | The project studies methods by which protocol implementations can be tested for information security defects. |

| | What is LDAP? - A Word Definition From the Webopedia Computer Dictionary |
| | Although not yet widely implemented, LDAP should eventually make it possible for almost any application running on virtually any computer platform to obtain directory information, such as email addresses and public keys. | | | And unlike X.500, LDAP supports TCP/IP, which is necessary for any type of Internet access. | | | Contains links to LDAP news items, overview documents, client, gateway and server software, mailing list information, and related Web resources. |
