Summary

LDAP is a directory protocol used as an interface to many disparate directory vendors. It allows a common coding interface for developers to access directory information. LDAP is similar to other data management systems, such as databases, and is read-optimized for fast, high-volume lookup searches. ColdFusion uses the <cfldap> tag to provide query and update actions on LDAP-compliant servers.
