Sorry, I am pretty new with LDAP too :) I have no documentation beside
the one I found from Googling around.

Hi Olivier,

There are a few good books about LDAP out there, but most of them are
quite old unfortunately. Anyhow, I found that reading "LDAP System
Administration" by Gerald Carter from O'Reilly was a good help in
understanding LDAP, deploying OpenLDAP and configuring applications to
fetch data from the LDAP directory (i.e. sendmail, replace NIS, PAM,
FTP, Apache, DNS, etc). Get more info at
http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/ldapsa/index.html

I really recommend this book. Its initial chapters helped me get
openldap up and running just for a couple of hours.

Since I am also interested in programming and scripting with ldap I
also found helpful "Deploying OpenLDAP" by Tom Jackiewicz
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1590594134/105-1483603-1926857. It
contains a chapter discussing the LDAP APIs for a couple of languages.

Regards
Rambius
