 <p><strong>LDAP</strong> servers are extensible, but they all use a common protocol which makes it easy for users to request to interact with them. This API is an example of what <strong>LDAP</strong> is good at: fast data access across servers.</p>
 <h2 id="characteristics">Characteristics<a class="headerlink" href="#characteristics" title="Permanent link">&para;</a></h2>
 <p><strong>LDAP</strong> servers are fast for retrievals, having been designed specifically for this purpose. But modifications are 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 it's corresponding <strong>D</strong>irectory <strong>I</strong>nformation <strong>T</strong>ree, and we use what's called 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, and all entries beneath it are collectively known as its <strong>DIT</strong>.</p>

-<p><strong>LDAP</strong> is a part of the <strong>IT</strong> landscape and so it's unavoidable that we must deal with it. <strong>LDAP</strong> servers are used to manage authentication, authorizations, demographic info and more. It's very likely that you will have to write some code to access data over <strong>LDAP</strong>, and existing <strong>API</strong>s aren't quite up to the task. This <strong>LDAP API</strong> has been designed to simplify usage.</p>
