In This article, we will discuss how to configure LDAP connector in SAP.
Let us discuss what is LDAP.

What Is LDAP In SAP

LDAP also called as Lightweight Directory Access Protocol is a a set of protocols for accessing information directories.
It is based on the X.500 standard but is a “lightweight” version of Directory Access Protocol (DAP).
The LDAP server stores the directory information in a database and the most common use of LDAP is to provide central place for authentication.

In SAP, we use LDAP mostly as a data source in UME (user management engine) or can be used to authenticate Organization’s Windows user to use services like ESS/MSS portals in SAP etc.
