LDAP is a protocol suite used to enable applications to access information stored in X.500-compatible directories. Inforamtion sotred in these directories includes user names, email addresses and so on.. LDSP is based on the X.500 standard, but is much simpler in its implementation. LDAP is defined in RFC 1777 and 1778
