And an LDAP server will typically house said repository namespace. Like
OpenLDAP using BerkDB.
I think thats where people are getting confused. The difference between
LDAP as a protocol and LDAP servers,
which incorporate the protocol and the directory storage.

umm...
not sure who posted that ldap isn't a database... ldap isn't a database
like
oracle, mysql, sybase, etc.. it's meant to be a kind of lightweight
database/protocol for establishing user address book kinds of
information,
normally used for user id/auth processes.
