LDAP directories

It's becoming increasingly common to find numerous references to LDAP in the literature and on web pages . And it seems quite clear that this phenomenon is growing. Indeed, it's increasingly difficult to imagine a world without shared directories, and in particular without LDAP-based directories. LDAP seems to have established itself as the industry standard.
