OpenLDAP Community Edition service instance deployment

Service overview

OpenLDAP is an open-source, cross-platform implementation of the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP), used to centrally store and manage directory data such as identity information, organizational structures, and device configurations within a network. It complies with the LDAPv3 standard (RFC 4511) defined by the IETF and is the most widely used open-source directory service solution on Linux and Unix systems.
