Specifics: We'll be meeting in room 340 of the Crabtree, the usual room. This should be an awesome meeting! Michael really knows his stuff. Here's what to expect: Getting tired of rsyncing /etc/passwd between machines? Want to have a unified login system for Windows, Linux, and Mac machines? Or maybe you just want an enterprise-wide e-mail directory. If so it all starts with LDAP. LDAP is a directory system that can be used for many purposes including user information, or even back a DNS system. LDAP defines a set up protocols and standards for querying and manipulating a tree-like database. I'll talk about how LDAP directory information is typically structured, and we'll set up from scratch a simple LDAP system capable of supporting linux and windows clients for unified logins. We'll touch briefly on more advanced topics like SASL authentication, Kerberos and maybe Mac OS X clients.
