LADP(Lightweight Directory Access Protocol)轻量目录访问协议~小知识

• What is LDAP and how does it work(implementation)?

LDAP stands for “Lightweight Directory Access Protocol”. It is a simplification of the X.500 Directory Access Protocol (DAP) used to access directory information. A directory is essentially a special-purpose database optimized to handle identity-related information.

 

LDAP基于X.500标准中包含的更简单的标准子集。由于这种关系，LDAP有时被称为X.500-lite。^[5]

• usage

Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP): LDAP is a protocol used foraccessing a directory database over the Internet, intranets, and other TCP/IP networks. The solution provides integration with LDAP servers, allowing IT Administrators totake advantage of existing user management and role-based security.

LDAP的一个常见用途是提供存储用户名和密码的中心位置。这允许许多不同的应用程序和服务连接到LDAP服务器以验证用户。
