Foil 18 LDAP (4)

From Directory Services for the Internet CPS714 Computational Science Information Track -- June 7 99. by Roman Markowski
1 LDAP was developed to provide clients with a lightweight method of accessing X.500 databases eliminating DAP (OSI Directory Access Protocol). DAP creates so much overhead that is not practical.
2 LDAP will help navigate but will not replace X.500
3 LDAP can be used to communicate with any attribute based directory, including X.500
4 It evolved as a standalone protocol: LDAP is a client-server product
  • LDAP client -> LDAP server <-> database
  • TCP 389 port is used
  • TCP 636 is used for encrypted LDAP
