Directory services provide detailed info about users or objects on a network. Early examples include the WHOIS service. Later in the 1990s came Novell Netware. Then came LDAP, which was designed to run on TCP/IP. AD was designed to run on LDAP.
Some abbreviations needed to understand the LDAP specification:
TLS - Transport Layer Security
PDU - Protocol Data Unit
SASL - Simple Authentication and Security Layer
AD technology is a shining example of Microsoft confidently embracing Internet technology such as LDAP and TCP/IP. AD also borrows a lot of concepts from the X.500 directory structure.
