“Course Difficulty
The course level is for an Experienced Linux Administrator. LDAP is
not easy and in fact can be very frustrating. Our plan is to
provide several LDAP courses with increasing difficulty and
options. The first course is Basic LDAP use with the project being
the creation of a User Whitepages. Teh second LDAP course will be
how to use the Open Source graphical tools that are available for
LDAP and the third course will be the use of LDAP with Samba. The
course is designed for a CentOS system but here are links to:
Ubuntu Client and Ubuntu Server.
