LDAP is a protocol for accessing information directories. While LDAP is based on the X.500 standard, it is
significantly simpler than this standard. LDAP also supports TCP/IP and is an open protocol.
NOTE: The Onboard Administrator LDAP feature supports Microsoft® Active Directory using the
memberOf attribute. Novell eDirectory is also supported with the groupMembership attribute.
OpenLDAP is not supported.
