[nflug] openldap

[JJ Neff]

Search IBM Redbooks - There is an IBM Redbook  Understanding LDAP
Design and Implementation available for download as a PDF.

It is Tivoli geared but explains LDAP in an overall aspect in very fine detail.

Just throwing that out there so folks know there are Books available.

In my current job I have a task to change an entire organization from flat files (updated with cfengine) to ldap!  It will be interesting and I will rely heavily on printed material!

thanks, I'm really trying my very best use openldap with everything, but 
it has been quite the task...

so far I use smbldap-tools with ldap and samba so I can use roaming 
users... that worked out just fine it was all localhost stuff

but now I'm having diffuculty authenticating horde to the ldap server, 
using smb authentication works fine, but like you said address books are 
great to have with an email server and one of my objectives is to use 
turba with horde's imp web based email server...

I have been slowly self signing ssl keys {I know Darin is frowning  :) }
and slowly implementing my slapd.conf makig sure connectivity stays up 
for samba users ...sweating profusly as this is our internal DNS as well

so being careful is very important, and not knowing what I am doing all 
the time is ok, as long as I am learning and can go back and fix mistakes.

But a class on all this would be great... I've been reading different 
books and different web pages... none of which have exactly what I want 
to do, but mostly pieces of what I am doing.  Maybe I am biting off more 
than I can chew... but I'll just have to chew slow
