LDAP is the most widely used protocol for accessing directory services. It can be used to rapidly retrieve information in a variety of objects such as Groups, Locations, Organizations, and People.
The LDAP connector makes it possible to surface content from LDAP directories into a single consolidated search index, along with content from other repositories. The connector works with SharePoint Search, Azure Cognitive Search, Elasticsearch, AWS Elasticsearch, and Solr.
