This protocol is specifically targeted at simple management applications and browser applications that provide simple read/write interactive access to the X.500 Directory, and is intended to be a complement to the DAP itself. Key aspects of LDAP are - Protocol elements are carried directly over TCP or other transport, bypassing much of the session/presentation overhead. - Many protocol data elements are encoding as ordinary strings (e.g., Distinguished Names). - A lightweight BER encoding is used to encode all protocol elements.}, }
