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`).

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.

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.
Share and Enjoy
