On the 25 other hand, a LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) directory 26 server is a local, centralized repository with both lookup and search 27 capability. 29 This document discusses one group of such systems which is known under 30 the term, "directories". 32 This memo provides information for the Internet community.
