LDAP

Short for Lightweight Directory Access Protocol, LDAP is an Internet protocol that runs over TCP designed at the University of Michigan and based on X.500 that e-mail programs use to look up contact information.

LDAP is a much easier version of X.500, and because of this, most e-mail clients today and in the future contain this protocol or OpenLDAP.

Complete LDAP information and help can be found at the University of Michigan LDAP page.

Complete information about OpenLDAP can be found here.
