Summary

OpenLDAP is an open source suite of LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access

Protocol) applications and development tools. LDAP is a set of

protocols for accessing directory services (usually phone book style

information, but other information is possible) over the Internet,

similar to the way DNS (Domain Name System) information is propagated

over the Internet. The openldap package contains configuration files,

libraries, and documentation for OpenLDAP.
