LDAP is a protocol, So any client that can understand and communicate using LDAP protocol can be referred to clients. There are numerous implementations of LDAP clients, some are bundled with respective server software and some based on API.
LDAP client can be divided in three group: API library, directory browser and LDAP-aware server application. Directory browsers are used directly by people to find telephone number, edit LDAP data, etc... LDAP-aware server applications are software such as mail server, web application, etc... that can store data on a LDAP server and user LDAP for user authentication.
