LDAP was originally created by Tim Howes of the University of Michigan, Steve Kille of Isode Limited, and Wengyik Yeong of Performance Systems International in 1993. The protocol was originally intended to be lightweight alternative protocol for accessing [[X.500]] directory services through the simpler [[TCP/IP]] protocol stack.
LDAP was originally created by Tim Howes of the University of Michigan, Steve Kille of Isode Limited, and Wengyik Yeong of [[Performance Systems International]] in 1993. The protocol was originally intended to be lightweight alternative protocol for accessing [[X.500]] directory services through the simpler [[TCP/IP]] protocol stack.
The [[X.500]] directory services were accessed via the [[X.500]] Directory Access Protocol ([[DAP]]), which required the Open Systems Interconnection ([[OSI]]) protocol stack. The advent of LDAP removed the necessity of the [[OSI]] protocol.
