An LDAP directory entry is a collection of attributes with a name, called a distinguished name (DN). The various types of additional data obout that DN, (e.g. phone number, email address, mailing address, security access code) may have restricted access to a subset of users of the database.
You may recognise the distinguished name scheme from the one used in setting up code signing certificates.
LDAP directory entries are arranged in a hierarchical structure that reflects political, geographic, and/or organisational boundaries.
Java normally accesses LDAP via JNDI (Java Naming and Directory Interface), JNDI.
