LDAP is USER SPACE problem. To decode that acronym:
Lightweight Directory Access Protocol

It is certain kind of database interrogation protocol,
and in itself it has nothing to do with the KERNEL.
It is usually implemented over TCP/IP sockets, but
even that is not mandatory. (Also, the databases
behind it are not necessarily any DIRECTORY (X.500)
type things.)
