LDAP Application Program Interface
open-in-new
<p>The LDAP Application Program Interface, described by RFC 1823, is an Informational <a href="/facts/Request_for_Comments/esftTvE7">RFC</a> that specifies an <a href="/facts/Application_programming_interface/GMlN4vUr">application programming interface</a> in the <a href="/facts/C_/Ky2No763">C programming language</a> for version 2 of the <a href="/facts/Lightweight_Directory_Access_Protocol/KgpfD8nR">Lightweight Directory Access Protocol</a>. Version 2 of LDAP is historic. Commonly available LDAP C APIs do not strictly adhere to this specification. </p><p>A draft standard is under development for LDAP version 3. </p>
