The cfldap tag extends the ColdFusion query capabilities to LDAP network directory services. The cfldap tag lets you use LDAP in many ways, such as the following:
- Create Internet White Pages so users can locate people and resources and get information about them.
- Provide a front end to manage and update directory entries.
- Build applications that incorporate data from directory queries in their processes.
- Integrate applications with existing organizational or corporate directory services.
The cfldap tag action attribute supports the following operations on LDAP directories:
Action |

delete |

modify |
