Overview:

The Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) is a common protocol interface to Network Directory Services (NDS). Widely deployed NDSs are Domain Name Service (DNS), NIS (Network Information Service), etc. They provide the clients with information such as host IPs, usernames, passwords, home directories, etc. LDAP is a network protocol for accessing information directories. It is based on the standards contained within the X.500 standard, but is much simpler and very efficient in serving data that does not need to be updated very often. LDAP runs over TCP/IP or other connection oriented transfer services. LDAP has the potential to consolidate existing NDSs into a single directory that can be accessed by LDAP clients.
