Using LDAP with ColdFusion
Last update:
May 18, 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.
