| PRODUCT TYPE | Paperback (Paperback) |
For all the work and time invested in using LDAP, not enough time has been spent designing the layout and the logic of directories. End users and system architects often don't give appropriate attention to the deployment of LDAP as a standards-based system with interfacing ability. Thus, many of LDAP's best features--especially OpenLDAP--become unusable. As a remedy, Deploying OpenLDAP delves into the logic, theories and fundamentals of directories. This book surpasses "what is", and instead shows system administrators "how to." A good resource for learning more is www.openldap.org.
