LDAP Tool

LDAP Screen

You can use the LDAP Tool to search for names and information available through LDAP.

LDAP (or Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) is a method of accessing directory information stored on a server. It permits an LDAP-enabled client to search for and view user information stored in an LDAP directory. LDAP is a subset of the X.500 Directory Access Protocol.

The LDAP client tool lets you view information from a remote host that supports LDAP. Most LDAP servers will let you view users' e-mail addresses and full names, and many servers will provide information such as a user's organization name, division or department name, and postal address. In addition, any LDAP server can contain its own customized set of attributes or data.
