This practical introduction to OpenLDAP for Application Developers
emphasizes how to get things done, going into Lightweight Directory
Access Protocol (LDAP) theory only to answer practical questions. It
demystifies OpenLDAP, providing a solid understanding of how to use its
directory and covering building directory services, integrating
directory services, and developing directory-enabled PHP or Python
applications. Readers need only basic Linux system administration
experience, not LDAP experience. Open-source OpenLDAP directory server
is included in all major Linux distributions; many open-source and
proprietary applications can use OpenLDAP's services. Client
applications use LDAP to connect to OpenLDAP, search the directory, and
(if authorized) modify and manipulate records. Most often used to
provide network-based authentication services for users, LDAP servers
have many other uses: address book, DNS database, organizational tool,
even network object store for applications.
