Definition

LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) is an open, vendor-neutral application protocol used for accessing and maintaining distributed directory information services over an Internet Protocol (IP) network. It is commonly used for authentication and authorization services, allowing users to access resources in a network by querying and modifying directory services like Active Directory or OpenLDAP.
