More how to's ?

Hello,

	I am currently looking into LDAP as a means for our authentication 
methods. We need to provide an authentication method for a large amount 
of users (10,000 plus).

At the moment one use would be for e-mail, we are setting up a large 
amount of IMAP servers and would like a centralized authentication method.

I have downloaded the OpenLDAP 2.2 Administrator's Guide and am 
currently reading it.

Put I have some out standing questions, if there is any other 
documentation I should be reading could you please provide a link or 
document name.

Questions:

1. Mail store directory ?
	With LDAP I understand that a user can authenticate their POP3 / IMAP 
connection if the IMAP / POP3 server supports LDAP as a method. Would a 
LDAP entry / setting also provide the directory / location of the users 
mailbox store ?


2. Is there a limit to the number of "Organization" that a LDAP server 
can have ? The one example in the documentation is "dc=example,dc=com" 
with a Organizational Unit of "ou=People".

	Could I create a Organization for each domain we have on a single LDAP 
server ? I would assume yes.

Thanks -- again any more documentation that you can point my way would 
be great.
