LDAP Overview

CA IAM CS sends and receives LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) requests, and is based on the JNDI (Java Naming and Directory Interface) API. The LDAP protocol is designed to manipulate hierarchical, object-oriented data.

The primary unit of data for LDAP is an object. An object represents items such as an account, a directory, or an intermediate container. All these objects are organized in a Directory Information Tree (DIT). A DIT defines the structure or schema of your endpoint to CA IAM CS.
