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.
