Any hacker knows the keys to the network are in Active Directory (AD). Once a hacker has access to one of your user accounts, it’s a race against you and your data security protections to see if you can stop them before they can start a data breach.
It’s important to know Active Directory backwards and forwards in order to protect your network from unauthorized access – and that includes understanding LDAP.

Do not use illegal warez version, crack, serial numbers, registration codes, pirate key for this misc. Network software Ldap Admin Tool. If you want to get a full and unlimited version of Ldap Admin Tool, you should buy from original publisher LDAPSoft. The main administration tool is a snap-in called Active Directory Users and Computers. Active Directory does not support the concept of roles. Therefore, you must simulate the Enterprise Manager roles in Active Directory using the concept of groups. Linux port Since recently, there is also a Linux port (still Beta) of LdapAdmin which is maintained by Ivo Brhel. LDAP Admin Tool lets you customize the behavior of its tools and set a number of other preferences. From the preferences menu you can customize the attribute column shown, adjust the attribute type colors (Required, Optional, Operational, or New attributes), logging, startup options, value editors for attributes and confirmations.
What is LDAP?
LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) is an open and cross platform protocol used for directory services authentication.
LDAP provides the communication language that applications use to communicate with other directory services servers. Directory services store the users, passwords, and computer accounts, and share that information with other entities on the network.

What is Active Directory?
Active Directory is a directory services implementation that provides all sorts of functionality like authentication, group and user management, policy administration and more.
Active Directory (AD) supports both Kerberos and LDAP – Microsoft AD is by far the most common directory services system in use today. AD provides Single-SignOn (SSO) and works well in the office and over VPN. AD and Kerberos are not cross platform, which is one of the reasons companies are implementing access management software to manage logins from many different devices and platforms in a single place. AD does support LDAP, which means it can still be part of your overall access management scheme.
Active Directory is just one example of a directory service that supports LDAP. There are other flavors, too: Red Hat Directory Service, OpenLDAP, Apache Directory Server, and more.
LDAP vs. Active Directory
LDAP is a way of speaking to Active Directory.
LDAP is a protocol that many different directory services and access management solutions can understand.
The relationship between AD and LDAP is much like the relationship between Apache and HTTP:
- HTTP is a web protocol.
- Apache is a web server that uses the HTTP protocol.
- LDAP is a directory services protocol.
- Active Directory is a directory server that uses the LDAP protocol.
Occasionally you’ll hear someone say, “We don’t have Active Directory, but we have LDAP.” What they probably mean is that they have another product, such as OpenLDAP, which is an LDAP server.
It’s kind of like someone saying “We have HTTP” when they really meant “We have an Apache web server.”
What is LDAP Authentication?
There are two options for LDAP authentication in LDAP v3 – simple and SASL (Simple Authentication and Security Layer).
Simple authentication allows for three possible authentication mechanisms:
- Anonymous authentication: Grants client anonymous status to LDAP.
- Unauthenticated authentication: For logging purposes only, should not grant access to a client.
- Name/Password authentication: Grants access to the server based on the credentials supplied – simple user/pass authentication is not secure and is not suitable for authentication without confidentiality protection.
SASL authentication binds the LDAP server to another authentication mechanism, like Kerberos. The LDAP server uses the LDAP protocol to send an LDAP message to the other authorization service. That initiates a series of challenge response messages that result in either a successful authentication or a failure to authenticate.
It’s important to note that LDAP passes all of those messages in clear text by default, so anyone with a network sniffer can read the packets. You need to add TLS encryption or similar to keep your usernames and passwords safe.
What is an LDAP Query?
An LDAP query is a command that asks a directory service for some information. For instance, if you’d like to see which groups a particular user is a part of, you’d submit a query that looks like this:
(&(objectClass=user)(sAMAccountName=yourUserName)
(memberof=CN=YourGroup,OU=Users,DC=YourDomain,DC=com))
Beautiful syntax, huh? Not quite as simple as typing a web address into your browser. Feels like LISP.
Luckily, in most cases, you won’t need to write LDAP queries. To maintain your sanity, you’ll perform all your directory services tasks through a point-and-click management interface like Varonis DatAdvantage or perhaps using a command line shell like PowerShell that abstracts away the details of the raw LDAP protocol.
TL;DR: LDAP is a protocol, and Active Directory is a server. LDAP authenticates Active Directory – it’s a set of guidelines to send and receive information (like usernames and passwords) to Active Directory. Want to learn more?

Convert Microsoft Project to Primavera P6 .xer file
You may need to convert your project data from Microsoft Project to Primavera P6, and Oracle Primavera already provides the mechanism for this purpose, for example, P6 allows you to import Microsoft Project to P6 by reading .mpp, .mpx, .xls, or .xml format file. However, in most cases, you will be disapointed with Primavera built-in import functions because you always receive error message that says the Primavera import completed with error and nothing is imported. Based on such a requirement, we offer you a new way to import MS Project to P6 by generating a .xer file from MS Project .MPP file.

Convert Microsoft Project from .mpp format to .mpx format file
This utility also allows users to convert Microsoft Project from .mpp format to .mpx format. Microsoft supports .mpx format file since MS Project 98, it can be used to exchange project data between two different Project Managemnet software, for example, Primavera P6 is able to import .mpx file directly.
To convert Microsoft Project from .mpp format to .mpx format file, click the Misc menu, then select 'Convert MPP to MPX File' menu, and the screen below should appears.
