LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) is a mature, flexible, and well supported standards-based mechanism software protocol for enabling anyone to locate data whether on the public internet or on a corporate intranet.
Common uses of LDAP include when:
A single piece of data needs to be found and accessed regularly;
Your organization has a lot of smaller data entries;
Your organization wants all smaller pieces of data in one centralized location, and there doesn't need to be an extreme amount of organization between the data.
The LDAP source supports batch syncs.
