Does iOS natively support LDAP? Is there a trustworthy library to do so?
It’s not clear whether you’re asking for system integration or an API. With regards system integration, your starting point should be the “Configuration Profile Reference”, which specifically offers an LDAP payload (`com.apple.ldap.account`). <https://developer.apple.com/library/content/featuredarticles/iPhoneConfigurationProfileRef/Introduction/Introduction.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40010206-CH1-SW4> I’m not sure what that’ll actually do. System integration isn’t really my thing. You might have better luck asking this question over in the Apple Support Communities, run by AppleCare, and specifically the “in Business and Education” topic areas, where you’re more likely to find folks with LDAP experience. <https://discussions.apple.com/> In terms of API, the iOS SDK has no specific LDAP API, although I suspect that you’ll be able to ‘see’ LDAP stuff via the Contacts framework once you have the system integration sorted out. If, however, you want to run LDAP queries directly, the standard API for that is OpenLDAP. That’s available in the macOS SDK but not the iOS SDK, although I suspect it wouldn’t be too hard to get it building and running on iOS.
