Question
Which of the following is a protocol for accessing distributed directory services containing a hierarchy of users, groups, machines, and organization units?
- A. SMB
- B. TLS
- C. LDAP Correct
- D. KRB-5
Explanation
LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) is the standard protocol for querying and modifying distributed directory services organized as a hierarchy of entries such as users, groups, machines and organizational units. SMB is a file and printer sharing protocol, TLS is a transport encryption protocol, and Kerberos 5 is an authentication protocol that often works alongside a directory but does not provide access to its hierarchy.
