Here's a great generic LDAP resource: http://www.zytrax.com/books/ldap/ It's reference material as well as some overview introductory stuff, but most of all, it's got a browseable reference of standard schemas and DNs and all that to make it a little easier to find appropriate ones for your needs.
I also use phpLDAPadmin to manage LDAP and it offers a similar browseable reference of the installed schemas in your particular setup. -N On Wednesday 10 May 2006 09:39 am, Ken D'Ambrosio wrote: > I'm about to set up an LDAP install, I believe from scratch, for a > friend's company.
