LDAP - Lightweight Directory Access Protocol - provides access
to a remote directory service through a client-server model. This
allows e.g. configuration data to be stored in a single, easily
maintained database. Embedded LDAP clients can then query the LDAP
server for specific sets of data in a uniform way. All data in the
directory service is organized in entries. Each entry is composed
of attributes, which have a type and one or more values.
The Embedded LDAP client and server communicate by means of TCP.
Since TCP is used, the Embedded LDAP client may be combined with
Interpeak SSL to achieve maximum data security.
