Multiple municipal applications need a common place to look up user objects, group membership, and attributes. Which directory access protocol is commonly used for that?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
LDAP is the shared phone book apps call when they need who works where and which groups they sit in—not email, file-transfer toys, or network-monitoring strings.
Full Explanation
LDAP is widely used to query and bind to directory services that hold user objects and group attributes for applications. SMTP, TFTP, and SNMP serve messaging, trivial file transfer, and network management—not as the primary identity directory protocol.
