Reading Light-weight Directory Access Protocol data
LDAP has been used for a long time for accessing and managing distributed
directory information. This is an application level protocol that works over the
IP network. Directory service is heavily used in organizations for managing the
information about the users, the computer systems, the networks, the applications,
and so on. The LDAP protocol contains plenty of technical jargon. It is a client/
server-based protocol. So, the LDAP client will make a request to a properly
configured LDAP server. After initializing the LDAP connection, the connection will
need to be authenticated by using a few parameters. A simple BIND operation will
establish an LDAP session. In a simple case, you can set up a simple anonymous
BIND that would not need no password or any other credentials.
