That's what \u003ci\u003eLDAP System Administration\u003c\/i\u003e is all about. System administrators often spend a great deal of time managing configuration information located on many different machines: usernames, passwords, printer configurations, email client configurations, and network filesystem configurations, to name a few. LDAPv3 provides tools for centralizing all of the configuration information and placing it under your control. Rather than maintaining several administrative databases (NIS, Active Directory, Samba, and NFS configuration files), you can make changes in only one place and have all your systems immediately \"see\" the updated information. Practically platform independent, this book uses the widely available, open source OpenLDAP 2 directory server as a premise for examples, showing you how to use it to help you manage your configuration information effectively and securely. OpenLDAP 2 ships with most Linux(R) distributions and Mac OS(R) X, and can be easily downloaded for most Unix-based systems. After introducing the workings of a directory service and the LDAP protocol, all aspects of building and installing OpenLDAP, plus key ancillary packages like SASL and OpenSSL, this book discusses: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eConfiguration and access control\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDistributed directories; replication and referral\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eUsing OpenLDAP to replace NIS\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eUsing OpenLDAP to manage email configurations\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eUsing LDAP for abstraction with FTP and HTTP servers, Samba, and Radius\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eInteroperating with different LDAP servers, including Active Directory\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eProgramming using Net:: LDAP\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e If you want to be a master of your domain, \u003ci\u003eLDAP System Administration\u003c\/i\u003e will help you get up and running quickly regardless of which LDAP version you use.
