OpenLDAP is a free and open-source implementation of the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP). It is used for directory services, providing a centralized way to store and manage information about users, groups, and other resources within a network. OpenLDAP is a popular choice for organizations of all sizes and is often used as a replacement for proprietary directory services.

OpenLDAP is a flexible and scalable directory service that supports a wide range of features, including:

• Authentication and Authorization: OpenLDAP can be used to authenticate users and authorize their access to resources.
• Data Storage: OpenLDAP can store a variety of data, including user information, group information, and other organizational data.
• Replication: OpenLDAP supports replication, which allows data to be copied between multiple servers for redundancy and load balancing.
• Extensibility: OpenLDAP can be extended with modules to provide additional functionality.

```python import ldap

1. Connect to LDAP server

l = ldap.initialize('ldap://ldap.example.com') l.simple_bind_s('cn=admin,dc=example,dc=com', 'password')

1. Search for user

results = l.search_s('dc=example,dc=com', ldap.SCOPE_SUBTREE, '(cn=John Doe)')

1. Print results

for dn, entry in results:

   print(dn, entry)

```java import javax.naming.directory.*;

// Connect to LDAP server DirContext ctx = new InitialDirContext();

// Search for user SearchControls controls = new SearchControls(); controls.setSearchScope(SearchControls.SUBTREE_SCOPE); NamingEnumeration<SearchResult> results = ctx.search(“dc=example,dc=com”, “(cn=John Doe)”, controls);

// Print results while (results.hasMore()) {

   SearchResult result = results.next();
   System.out.println(result.getNameInNamespace());
