I have got some wireshark captures, and it shows that it is UDP. But in theory it says that it uses both TCP and UDP. So I m confused. And what is the difference b/w LDAP and CLDAP? Are they both UDP protocols?
The Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) is a vendor-neutral application protocol used to maintain distributed directory info in an organized, easy-to-query manner. That means it allows you to keep a directory of items and information about them.
Possible issues. LDAPS communication occurs over port TCP 636. LDAPS communication to a global catalog server occurs over TCP 3269.
LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) is a software protocol for enabling anyone to locate data about organizations, individuals and other resources such as files and devices in a network -- whether on the public Internet or on a corporate Intranet.
Normally LDAP is a TCP protocol. But Microsoft uses LDAP also over UDP. See here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc717362(v=prot.10).aspx
So it is both.
