What is Lightweight Directory Access Protocol?

Understanding Lightweight Directory Access Protocol

LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) is an open and standardized protocol used for accessing and managing information directories over a network. It provides a way for client applications to query and update directory services data stored on servers. LDAP enables centralized authentication, authorization, and information lookup for a variety of services such as user authentication, email address lookup, and network resources access control.
