I''ve been using LDAP a year and a half already: OpenLDAP master OpenLDAP slave TLS supposed of course system users' logins (pam_ldap, nss_ldap) samba (integration with windowz/domain controlling) squid authentication (squid_ldap_auth) apache authentication (modauthldap_apache2) native apache's module is incredibly raw :( vpopmail authentication (I had to write a patch to make vpop work correctly with openldap, but it wasn't accepted in vpopmail community and I dropped it, and now using it only in the house's projects) am going to do qmail with ldap (qmail cluster I mean) a nice management tool phpLDAPadmin helps a lot to manage the DB tree... actually it's been said above: the LDAP play is not trivial and LDAP doesn't give up to a high hand. much reading and experimenting is supposed, - but the output is worthy of it. a year an a half of smooth work and flexibility. I want to describe it step by step and publish, even have some drafts of the future documentation (actually they are scripts with the comments and configuration files), anyway one must learn LDAP very hard to be understanding it very cleary, because any documentation won't help if you're just going to take LDAP with a high hand... -- "Making it complicated is easy, making it SIMPLE is an art"
