Having been exposed to OpenLDAP for the first time two and a half years
ago, I can attest that this was true, at least for me. Not that it
wasn't a frustrating journey.

For me, lack of _context_ surrounding for example, configuration
options, was more difficult than learning LDIF, client tools or server
configuration, though.
