It\u2019s a standards-based protocol that sits on top of TCP\/IP and allows clients to perform a variety of operations in a directory server, including storing and retrieving data, searching for data matching a given set of criteria, authenticating clients, and more. The standard TCP ports for LDAP are 389 for unencrypted communication and 636 for LDAP over a TLS-encrypted channel, although it\u2019s not uncommon for LDAP servers to listen on alternate ports for a variety of reasons.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  This section provides a number of pages to help you get started with LDAP and understand the basic concepts.
