Why LDAP is called light weight?
Answer Posted / ravi pandey
LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) is a protocol
for communications between LDAP servers and LDAP clients.
LDAP servers store "directories" which are access by LDAP
clients.
LDAP is called lightweight because it is a smaller and
easier protocol which was derived from the X.500 DAP
(Directory Access Protocol) defined in the OSI network
protocol stack.
LDAP servers store a hierarchical directory of information.
In LDAP parlance, a fully-qualified name for a directory
entry is called a Distinguished Name. Unlike DNS (Domain
Name Service) FQDN's (Fully Qualified Domain Names), LDAP
DN's store the most significant data to the right.
