!!! Overview
[{$pagename}] are the protocol exchanges that are used for [LDAP Messages].


[Lightweight Directory Access Protocol] ([LDAP]) is a typical [Request-Response] [communication] [protocol] where a [Directory User Agent] ([DUA]), initiates the [communication] by sending a [LDAP Request] to a [Directory System Agent] ([DSA]).

The [DUA] does not need to wait for a [LDAP Result] from the [DSA] before sending additional [LDAP Requests] when using performing [Asynchronous Operations].

The [LDAP Message] is the fundamental [Protocol Data Unit] for [LDAP] [communication].   [{$pagename}] is the container that is used to hold all [LDAP Message] elements and the associated [LDAP Result Codes].

The core [LDAPv3] specification is in [RFC 4510], with [RFC 4511] defining the actual encoding for the [protocol].  A number of other specifications are defined in a number of [RFCs|Request For Comment] and [Internet Drafts].  We have many of these [LDAP Server Standards and Specifications]

[LDAP] defines a number of different types of [LDAP Messages]. Each of these [{$pagename}] contains a [request and zero or more responses|LDAP Result Codes]
