LDAP
Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) is a protocol used to process queries and updates to an
LDAP information directory, on an external server. LDAP can also be used for network authentication
and authorization. LDAP directories are optimized heavily for read performance. Use this page to
define how the printer retrieves user information from an LDAP directory.
