LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) is primarily used for accessing and maintaining distributed directory information services over an IP network. This directory helps in organizing user data, computers, and other resources such as files and devices on a network. The correct answer highlights LDAP's primary function to manage directory-based information. Other options do not correctly represent LDAP functionalities but might seem plausible; for example, managing digital certificates or encrypting data represents security tasks but is not handled by LDAP directly.
