Why LDAP is called light weight?
Answer Posted / shreepal singh chundawat
LDAP is called lightweight because it is a smaller and easier protocol which was derived from the X.500 DAP
(Directory Access Protocol) defined in the OSI network protocol stack.
This is correct and we have one more reason that in LDAP we have one concept called updated thread pooling i.e. LDAP protocol has some predefined threads and these threads are dedicated to perform most of the queries comes from the client side.
So it won't use much system resources to resolve the client query that why it is called lightweight protocol.
