Deploying OpenLDAP

by Tom Jackiewicz

Overview

* Focuses on open standards rather than proprietary systems, which are expensive and incompatible with other systems.

* Can be used by someone who already knows advanced programming and implementation but doesn’t understand how everything fits together.

* Scripting for network administrators who want to perform tasks but aren’t necessarily programmers.
