 <p>The <strong>LDAP</strong> protocol provides access to entries stored in a <strong>LDAP Server's</strong> database. It provides the mechanism for fast searching and retrieval of entries. Its data structures are hierarchical, and uses a schema to manage the definition of data formats allowed accross those entries.</p>
 <p>An <strong>LDAP</strong> client must first connect to a server and disconnect when finished. Some operations may be performed on the data itself, e.g. searches, modifications and deletions, along with a few others.</p>
-<p><strong>LDAP</strong> servers are extensible, but they all use a common protocol simplifies application access in a way that isn't tied to a particular vendor's implementation. This API is an example of what <strong>LDAP</strong> is good at: fast data access across servers of all types.</p>

 <p><strong>LDAP</strong> servers are fast for retrievals, having been designed specifically for this purpose. But modifications can be costly. These characteristics must be understood when writing applications that use an <strong>LDAP</strong> server for data storage.</p>
 <p>Each entry is associated with a location within its corresponding <strong>D</strong>irectory <strong>I</strong>nformation <strong>T</strong>ree, and we use what is known as a <strong>D</strong>istinguished <strong>N</strong>ame (or <strong>Dn</strong>) to describe this address. The base entry is known as the suffix.  The suffix along with all entries beneath it are collectively known as the <strong>DIT</strong>.</p>
