Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP)

LDAP Inheritance

When it comes down to it, much of the way that data in an LDAP system relates to one another is a matter of hierarchies, inheritance, and nesting. LDAP initially seems unusual to many people because it implements some object-oriented concepts in its design. This mainly comes from its use of classes, as we have previously discussed, and the availability of inheritance, which we will talk about now.
