Edit Question
Title
Body
I often hear things like "Can we load our employee info using LDAP?" Yet, the title "Lightweight Directory Access Protocol" makes me think of it as a protocol rather than a physical database management system like Oracle or MSSQL. So could someone please explain to me what LDAP is, how it's used, and how it basically works? Is LDAP simply a standard protocol for extracting data from a variety of DBMSs? In an architecture diagram, would LDAP be simply an arrow drawn between the DB and the application server?
