What is LDAP?

• Lightweight Directory Access Protocol
• Standard protocol for reading from and writing to
  directories
• Common language that LDAP clients and servers use
  to communicate with each other
• Accesses directory information usually organized
  in a tree-like structure

What are the Benefits?

• Hierarchical and specialized Database
• Scalable, Flexible, Extensible
• Efficient Means of Organizing/Retrieving
  Information
• High Query (Read) Performance
• Poor Update (Write) Performance
• LDAP should eventually make it possible for any
  application running on virtually any computer
  platform to obtain directory information, such as
  email addresses and public keys.
