Basically LDAP is really a protocol for accessing a directory (LDAP = Lightweight Directory Access Protocol).
It does NOT define how the directory information is stored. You can use a database, a flat file, or other file format.
Nor does it define what is stored in the directory. However there is normally basic information stored, such as userids, groupids, and passwords. But it can also store other information, printer names, file names, system performance information, system resource information, program names, transaction names, ect. It can store "anything" you want.
Nor does the information need to be stored permanently.
What LDAP it does define is how to interact. You can also think of LDAP as grammar and sentence structure. Grammar and sentence structure define how we write and talk, but not what we write and talk about nor does it define what medium (paper, computer, television, phone, tape, ect.) we use while communicating.
