Having just done exactly that I can say it's probably more frustrating than difficult. I had an interesting time finding any sort of documentation specifically on setting up LDAP authentication. LDAP does much more than this, and what documentation there is tends to be more general than I was looking for. Eventually I turned up a few helpful web pages including: <http://staff.pisoftware.com/bmarshal/publications/ldap.html> <http://people.redhat.com/alikins/ldap/ldap.html> <http://www.redhat.com/support/manuals/RHL-7-Manual/ref-guide/ch-ldap.html> >How integrated are various utilities into ldap?

One possibility is addluser: <http://www.open-it.org/download/prototypes/addluser.py> Frank
