I have searched may places to find the answer of this. I want to know what is the use of LDAP and what are the scenario's where I can use LDAP. I just know LDAP means Lightweight Directory Access Protocol.
It's a directory protocol that stores information in a "tree." A very common use of it is for user authentication. An application may have a login page, and when the user enters their login information, the application would connect to the LDAP directory to retrieve information about that user, as far as what permissions that user has, or what groups the user belongs to, etc. Microsoft's Active Directory is similar.
