This graphical utility is a Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) client that allows users to perform operations (such as connect, bind, search modify, add, delete) against any LDAP compatible directory, such as Active Directory. Use LDP to view objects stored in Active Directory along with their metadata, such as security descriptors and replication metadata.

Note

LDP is a GUI-based, Windows Explorer-like utility with a scope pane on the left that is used for navigating through the Active Directory namespace, and a details pane on the right that is used for displaying the results of the LDAP operations. Any text displayed in the details pane can be selected with the mouse and "copied" to the clipboard.

Corresponding UI

LDP comes with its own user interface.
