The trouble with LDAP has traditionally been that it is complicated to set up and configure, and that front-end directory administration tools are stone-age if they exist at all. It doesn't help that its been around _forever_ so Google results get cluttered with out-of-date info. OpenLDAP binary packages solve the first problem nicely, but there's still a few minutes of by-hand configuration and bootstrapping involved. As for LDAP administration front-ends, anybody have any suggestions? I heard good things about the Netscape Directory console that was supposed to be open-sourced last year, but I could never figure out where or how to download and install it. -- Chris Snyder http://chxo.com/ _______________________________________________ New York PHP Community Talk Mailing List http://lists.nyphp.org/mailman/listinfo/talk NYPHPCon 2006 Presentations Online http://www.nyphpcon.com Show Your Participation in New York PHP http://www.nyphp.org/show_participation.php
