Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) Overview and Considerations

LDAPv3 directories typically store data that does not change often, such as employee information and user privileges on the corporate network. LDAPv3 information is stored in a database that is optimized for a high number of read and search requests and occasional write and update requests.

LDAPv3 Integration

Integration between voice applications and a corporate LDAPv3 directory is a common task for many enterprise IT organizations. Microsoft Active Directory integrations are by far the most popular in the United States, but various LDAPv3 solutions are supported. Various versions of Netscape, Sun One, and Open LDAP LDAPv3 directories are also supported.
