All the wonders of LDAP revealed!!! (Eggs and all major vegetables accepted.)
In this presentation I hope to explain some of the fundamentals of LDAP, how it works and what if can be useful for. I will demonstrate setting up and LDAP server for a network, how to manage accounts within a LDAP directory and setting up client machines to authenticate against the LDAP server. With these basics, it is possible to have unified usernames and passwords across your whole network, including Linux login, email, web and Samba. And as a special treat (assuming all goes well over the weekend), I’ll demonstrate my shiny new OpenSolaris server with ZFS and VirtualBox.
