It’s not clear whether you’re asking for system integration or an API.  With 
regards system integration, your starting point should be the “Configuration 
Profile Reference”, which specifically offers an LDAP payload 
(`com.apple.ldap.account`).

I’m not sure what that’ll actually do.  System integration isn’t really my 
thing.  You might have better luck asking this question over in the Apple 
Support Communities, run by AppleCare, and specifically the “in Business and 
Education” topic areas, where you’re more likely to find folks with LDAP 
experience.

In terms of API, the iOS SDK has no specific LDAP API, although I suspect that 
you’ll be able to ‘see’ LDAP stuff via the Contacts framework once you have the 
system integration sorted out.  If, however, you want to run LDAP queries 
directly, the standard API for that is OpenLDAP.  That’s available in the macOS 
SDK but not the iOS SDK, although I suspect it wouldn’t be too hard to get it 
building and running on iOS.

Share and Enjoy
