Deploying OpenLDAP

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.
The text focuses on open standards, rather than
proprietary systems - which are expensive and incompatible
with other systems. If you already know advanced
programming implementation, but don't fully understand how all
pieces fit together, then this book will surpass
explaining, "what is," and instead show you, "how
to."
