LDAP

[Chong Yu Meng]

Hi Vu,

For your purposes, you will need to decide how you want to setup the 
structure of your directory. You will need to read up on how to design a 
Directory Information Tree (DIT). I was going to explain a little on how 
this whole process works, but I found that the email will probably be 
too long. One book I highly recommend for this is by Novell Press, which 
is titled "LDAP". You should read that up for a quick primer. Then you 
should probably see this URL: 
http://www.yolinux.com/TUTORIALS/LinuxTutorialLDAP.html. You could also 
read up my Step on eDirectory : 
http://linux-sxs.org/networking/edir87_linux.html

You'll probably need about a week to sift thru the information. I spent 
a couple months trying to understand LDAP and directory design.

Regards,
pascal chong
