JXplorer

 

Lightweight Directory Access Protocol, (LDAP), is a protocol for querying and modifying directory services.  A directory comprises an indexed set of information set out in hierarchical format.  LDAP usually use DNS names for their structured formatting. Querying via LDAP can allow the tester to enumerate a great deal of information and can yield to valid usernames with anonymous access and no credentials required.

 

There are a number of tools out there, that are command-line based, however JXplorer allows the tester a nice Graphical User Interface to query remote LDAP servers.
