Why Use LDAP?
Managing user information is a complex problem for modern organizations, often involving the management of separate and incompatible user directories; each of which has to be updated every time an employee joins, leaves, changes department or personal details and so on.
LDAP offers a solution to this problem by providing:
| • | a distributed, global directory. |
| • | fast, efficient, client/server-based access to the directory. |
| • | integrated user validation. |
