What is LDAP
| LDAP is a networking protocol for querying and modifying directory services running over TCP/IP.To explain LDAP we take a example of telephone directory, which consists of a series of names organized alphabetically, with an address and phone number attached.To start LDAP on client it should be connect with server at TCP/IP port 389.The client can send multiple request to the server.The basic operations are:-
Start TLS - protect the connection with T |
|
| ransport Layer Security (TLS), to have a more secure connection
Bind - authenticate and specify LDAP protocol version
Search - search for and/or retrieve directory entries Compare - test if a named entry contains a given attribute valueAdd a new entry Delete an entryModify an entry Modify DN - move or rename an entryAbandon - abort a previous request Extended Operation - generic operation used to define other operationsUnbind - close the connection (not the inverse of Bind) | |
