From the Publisher:This book is about making your life easier. Read it and you'll have more time for gaming, messaging with your friends, or maybe even doing real work while others marvel at how productive you are. Well, maybe life won't be that good -- except for the "doing real work" part. But we're serious. System administrators spend a lot of time managing lots of configuration information spread over many different machines: usernames, passwords, printer configurations, email client configurations, network filesystem configurations, what have you. LDAP provides a mechanism for centralizing all of the configuration information and placing it under your control. Imagine how much more you could accomplish if, rather than maintaining several administrative databases (NIS, AD, Samba, and NFS configuration files), you could make your changes in one place and one place only, and have all your systems immediately "see" the updated information. LDAP System Administration shows you how to use OpenLDAP 2, the widely-available open source LDAPv3 directory server, to help you manage your configuration information effectively and securely. OpenLDAP ships with most Linux distributions and Mac OS X, and can easily be installed in most Unix-based operating systems. The techniques discussed in this book can also be used with commercial LDAP products, though the implementations will be different. In addition to introducing the workings of a directory service and the LDAP protocol, and all aspects of building and installing OpenLDAP plus key ancillary packages, such as SASL and OpenSSL. We've never seen a real-world system administrator who didn't need to be more productive. Even if it's only to give you more time to have fun. You need to put LDAP to work for you; LDAP System Administration shows you how.
