## About
<!-- A description of the package and where one can find more documentation -->
System.DirectoryServices.Protocols provides a managed implementation of Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) version 3 and Directory Services Markup Language (DSML) version 2.0 (V2) standards.
It primarily uses the `LdapConnection` type for interacting with LDAP servers, using system native libraries to establish TCP/IP or UDP LDAP connections.
Supports both Windows and Unix, but certain features, such as setting client or server certificate options, are not available on Unix.

// Connect to the server
connection.Bind();
// Perform LDAP operations
}
