JMeter – LDAP Request Defaults
LDAP: What is it?
A software protocol called LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) makes it possible for anyone to find companies, people, and other assets like files and devices on a network, whether on the open Internet or on a corporate intranet. Directory Access Protocol (DAP), part of the X.500 standard for network directory services, is also known as DAP. LDAP is a “light” (no code) version of DAP. Multiple servers can share an LDAP directory. Each server can have a replicated copy of the entire directory that is synchronized periodically. A Directory System Agent (DSA) is the name of an LDAP server. An LDAP server that accepts a user’s request takes responsibility for the request and forwards it to additional DSAs as needed while ensuring a coordinated response to the user.
