How to manage directory access from Linux on Windows Server (AD LDS)?

Question

linux

There is a task from software running in Linux to manage access to directories on a windows server.
As far as I understand, there is an LDAP protocol for this, using which you can connect to Active Directory and perform the necessary manipulations.
Now there is Windows Server 2012, it has AD DS and AD LDS.
The question is the following. I correctly understood that directory access control can be done using AD LDS, or are there other means for this? And I would like to know the set of operations with which you can access LDS from the outside, because you managed to connect to DS without problems, but it doesn’t let you into LDS. It seems that authentication needs to be configured additionally.

It's not entirely clear - what do you mean by "manage access to catalogs" - to configure the rights to directories? Or change something in the contents of AD? You can even connect to AD via ldapsearch - and if you specify domain administrator credentials when logging in, you can write to AD. But I strongly do not recommend doing this - LDAP utilities do not know anything about the features of AD and can easily break it.
