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.
