Understanding LDAP - Design and Implementation
by Steven Tuttle, Ami Ehlenberger, Ramakrishna Gorthi, Jay Leiserson, Richard Macbeth, Nathan Owen, Sunil Ranahandola, Michael Storrs, Chunhui Yang
Overview
The implementation and exploitation of centralized,
corporate-wide directories are among the top priority projects in
most organizations. The need for a centralized directory emerges as
organizations realize the overhead and cost involved in managing
the many distributed micro and macro directories introduced in the
past decade with decentralized client/server applications and
network operating systems.
Directories are key for successful IT operation and e-business
application deployments in medium and large environments. IBM
understands this requirement and supports it by providing directory
implementations based on industry standards at no additional cost
on all its major platforms and even important non-IBM platforms.
The IBM Directory Server implements the Lightweight Directory
Access Protocol (LDAP) standard that has emerged quickly in the
past years as a result of the demand for such a standard.
This IBM Redbook will help you create a foundation of LDAP skills,
as well as install and configure the IBM Directory Server. It is
targeted at security architects and specialists who need to know
the concepts and the detailed instructions for a successful LDAP
implementation.
