Solution

  • What are the differences between LDAP

    LDAP was originally a protocol, Lightweight Directory Access Protocol, and is now a directory service specification in its own right, including all kinds of schemas and extras.

    and Active OpenLDAP?

    There is no such thing as 'Active OpenLDAP'. There is however OpenLDAP, which is an open-source implementation of LDAP, both server and client.
