The main benefit of using LDAP is that information for an entire organization can be consolidated into a central repository.

 

For example, rather than managing user lists for each group within an organization, LDAP can be used as a central directory accessible from anywhere on the network.

 

And because LDAP supports Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) and Transport Layer Security (TLS), sensitive data can be protected from prying eyes.

 

LDAP also supports a number of back-end databases in which to store directories.

 

This allows administrators the flexibility to deploy the database best suited for the type of information the server is to disseminate. Because LDAP also has a well-defined client Application Programming Interface (API), the number of LDAP-enabled applications are numerous and increasing in quantity and quality.
