##### B.4.3.2.4 LDAP

LDAP can be used to obtain information about network Application Entities. The identity of an LDAP server can be obtained using the Find LDAP Server Transaction of the DICOM Application Configuration Management Profile (i.e., a DNS SRV RR query for the LDAP service) and the first LDAP server returned will be used. The Service/Installation Tool can also be used to manually configure the identity of an LDAP server (a manually entered value takes precedence).

LDAP Basic Authentication can be configured via the Service/Installation Tool by specifying a bind DN and password. If LDAP Basic Authentication is not configured the LDAP client will bind anonymously.

The supported LDAP Security Profiles are:

- Basic

- Basic-Manual

- Anonymous

- Anonymous-Manual

The use of LDAP to publish and obtain device configuration information is described in Section B.4.4.
