LDAP

This section gives you an introduction to LDAP and how to use it.

Introduction

LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) is used to program
directory-enabled applications. It is a directory service that allows
people to locate other users, resources, services and information.
LDAP allows resources and services to be selected with ease and
accessed with location-independence.

Note:

o LDAP works differently depending on the organization and what

the system looks like.

Structure Example

A structure can for example look like this:

AXIS

SE

US

Engineering

Marketing

Sales

Organization

Country

Organization Unit
