The Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) was introduced as a replacement for NIS/YP. It is a service that provides a method for looking up information from a central database.
Rationale:
If the system will not need to act as an LDAP server, it is recommended that the software be disabled to reduce the potential attack surface.
Fix:
Run the following command to disable LDAP server # systemctl --now disable slapd.
Parameter:
[yes/no]
Technical Mechanism:
Run the following command to disable LDAP server # systemctl --now disable slapd
