3.2.4.3 LDAP
One of the great advantages of LDAP is rapid response to users’ searching request. For instance, user’s
authentication which may general a large amount of information sent as the same time. If database is adopted for
this purpose, since it is divided into many tables, each time to meet such a simple requirement, the whole database
has to be searched, integrated and filtered slowly and disadvantageously. LDAP, simple as a table, only requires
username and command and something else. Authentication is met from efficiency and structure.
