More on LDAP + a bit on documentation and a link !

As I said earlier, I started reading on LDAP. I have multiple sources, a book and some "Howto" guides.

Books are nice and everything, but for an IT professional, they are pretty big and more often they serve as references. The book in question is more than 800 pages long, while the Howto Guide is 40 pages long. It is easy to see that you'll first read the Howto, then setup an experimental/pilot project. On the way to migrating that project for production work, you'll dwelve into the book (or other Guides describing the specifics) for precisions on the finer points.

I recommend the LDAP Linux Howto for starters (I'm still reading it), and it has a price I like *FREE*.

Most of the time, we only need an overview to get the basic idea. Then, a bit of experimenting makes us understand the details. So the O'Reilly "... in a Nutshell" series and The Linux Documentation Project Howto guides are pretty good sources for IT pros.

By the way, I'm planning for an OpenLDAP architecture, and the guide is based on this product concerning LDAP.

Just found out a site where you can find a lot more extensions for Firefox, Mozilla and Thunderbird than at Mozilla. Have fun !!
