	Lightweight Directory Access Protocol - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		LDAP has influenced subsequent Internet protocols, including later versions of X.500, Directory Services Markup Language (DSML), Service Provisioning Markup Language (SPML) and the Service Location Protocol.
		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.
		An LDAP directory entry consists of a collection of attributes and is referenced unambiguously with a name, called a distinguished name (DN).

	Important Internet Standards: LDAP
		LDAP servers take responsibility for "referrals" -- in effect, the 'librarian' saying "What you want is across town." X.500 DSAs return this information to the client, which must then issue a new search request.
		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.
		But for Microsoft, LDAP is another in the growing list of open standards Netscape is using to gain mindshare and shift the action from the desktop, where Wintel remains unbeatable, to the network.

	ONLamp.com: An Introduction to LDAP
		LDAP can play a vital role in networks of all sizes, but like most new technology, it suffers from the Catch-22 of no one using it because it's not supported and developers not supporting it because no one is using it.
		To understand why and how LDAP is going to be such an important tool in the life of a network administrator, it is necessary to understand what problems LDAP was developed to solve and how it will do so.
		LDAP is the latest iteration in a rather lengthy development process beginning with the X.500 directory specification and its corresponding Directory Access Protocol (DAP) in the late 1980s and early 1990s.

	An Introduction to LDAP
		LDAP servers can replicate either some or all of their data via push or pull methods, allowing you to push data to remote offices, to increase security, and so on.
		LDAP directories use the concept of object classes to define which attributes are allowed for objects of any given type.
		LDAP servers can be set to replicate some or all of their data, on a push or a pull basis, using simple authentication or certificate-based authentication.

		Because of an assumption that LDAP is the "same old directory stuff just done differently", to overcome the sometimes mis-perceived "limitations" of LDAP one is tempted to install all the desired attributes into a single institutional objectclass and not populate the data elements for the FERPA elections.
		You have already deployed your LDAP directory and there are some applications already using custom attributes that do not follow the naming conventions and/or you have finally obtained your OID arc for your institution and wish to bring that up to snuff on your directory as well.
		An LDAP enabled mail transfer agent that receives email for the some.edu domain has two main objectives to fulfill: Identification, which is the determination of which LDAP entry is associated with the recipient; and Routing, the determination of what next step to take to get the message to the recipient’s mailbox.

	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 is used to look up encryption certificates, pointers to printers and other services on a network, and provide "single signon" where one password for a user is shared between many services.
		LDAP servers exist at three levels: There are big public servers, large organizational servers at universities and corporations, and smaller LDAP servers for workgroups.
