Dear
List,
I recently
published a book about LDAP, using OpenLDAP in all the examples Since I am planning to do a 2nd edition ( if my
editor agrees ) I wonder what would be interesting for a newcomer to
LDAP.
I would be very
happy for any suggestion. I wrote this book with the newcomers in mind,
therefore I tried to remember which problems I had myself more than 6 years
ago when I started working with LDAP.
Thank you very
much for any suggestion,
a very happy new
year to all of you
best
regards
Reinhard E.
Voglmaier
in the same time I
beg your pardon if you are not interested,
I put details
behind this line
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
I attach the list
of the chapters, if you are interested in more details, please let me
know.
( title: The ABC's
of LDAP, Auerbach Publications, you find more about it on
amazon )
- The LDAP
Protocol ( Introduction in LDAP )
- Hello World in LDAP ( a first example
)
- LDAP Models
( The theory standing behind, the LDAP models, information, naming,
functional and security )
- LDAP: Some
practical details - distributed architecture
- LDAP APIS (
command line tools, C, JAVA, Perl, PHP, JNDI )
- LDAP
Directory Server Administration
- LDAP and
Web Services
- The Design of
Directory Services
Appendix: LDAP
RFC's and Drafts, useful LDAP links, Object classes and Attribute Types,
Configuration of OpenLDAP, Replication of OpenLDAP, OpenLDAP Proxy
Server
I think it would
be a good idea to dedicate an entire chapter to OpenLDAP, promoting it from
the appendix to a chapter.
Furthermore may be
better also to pull out security question from LDAP Directory administration
in a complete new chapter explaining things like SSL, SASL, Kerberos, these
subjects are explained in the chapter LDAP Models, but I see from the
questions on this list it would be good to find these issues in a more
detail.
