Acronym for Lightweight Directory Access Protocol.
A protocol for accessing heirachical data. Kinda like SQL except it has "fixed" Schema's (you can define your own, but not quite as easily as you do in SQL) and it's for HierarchicalDataBases rather than RelationalDataBases.
LDAP implementations are (often) optimised for reading data, not read/write, so it's often used for directories.
Netware's NDS speaks LDAP, Microsofts ActiveDirectory speaks LDAP. It's just a protocol.
DanielLawson is our local LDAP guru. If you've got the problem, he's got the solution :)
