  • What is LDAP ill suited for?

    Systems that won't tolerate any inconsistency, applications that require drilling down to find unpredicted relationships between entries, or databases that are changed more than they are queried. Consider the inappropriateness of using a directory for bank account management, data warehousing, or real time stock pricing, respectively.

    Otherwise, I could likely make an argument.
