- LDAP is the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol, and is a protocol
- used to access "Directory Servers". The Directory is a special kind
- of database that holds information in a tree structure.
- The concept is similar to your hard disk directory structure, except
- that in this context, the root directory is "The world" and the
- first level subdirectories are "countries". Lower levels of the
- directory structure contain entries for companies, organisations
- or places, while yet lower still we find directory entries for
- people, and perhaps equipment or documents.
- The PHP LDAP library allows you to query and set values in remote
- and local LDAP databases.
