Using LDAP with ColdFusion
Last update:
Jun 9, 2026
The cfldap tag extends the ColdFusion query capabilities to LDAP network directory services. The cfldap tag lets you use LDAP in many ways, such as the following:
- Create Internet White Pages so users can locate people and resources and get information about them.
- Provide a front end to manage and update directory entries.
- Build applications that incorporate data from directory queries in their processes.
- Integrate applications with existing organizational or corporate directory services.
The cfldap tag action attribute supports the following operations on LDAP directories:
Action | Description |
query | Returns attribute values from a directory. |
add | Adds an entry to a directory. |
delete | Deletes an entry from a directory. |
modify | Adds, deletes, or changes the value of an attribute in a directory entry. |
The following table lists the attributes that are required and optional for each action. For more information on each attribute, see the cfldap tag in the CFML Reference.
Action | Required attributes | Optional attributes |
query | server, name, start, attributes | port, username, password, timeout, secure, rebind, referral, scope, filter, sort, sortControl, startRow, maxRows, separator, delimiter |
add | server, dn, attributes | port, username, password, timeout, secure, rebind, referral, separator, delimiter |
delete | server, dn | port, username, password, timeout, secure, rebind, referral |
modify | server, dn, attributes | port, username, password, timeout, secure, rebind, referral, modifyType, separator, delimiter |
modifyDN | server, dn, attributes | port, username, password, timeout, secure, rebind, referral |
