This document describes how to set up OpenLDAP on Fedora 7. OpenLDAP is a directory server based on the LDAP protocol, that same protocol MS Active Directory is based on. OpenLDAP is an open-source implementation of the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol.

iRedMail is a shell script that lets you quickly deploy a full-featured mail solution in less than 2 minutes. Since iRedMail 0.5, it supports Debian 5.0.1 and Ubuntu 8.04 & Ubuntu 9.04 (both i386 and x86_64). iRedMail supports both OpenLDAP and MySQL as backends for storing virtual domains and users. The OpenLDAP backend of iRedMail allows you to integrate all kinds of applications.

Packt is pleased to announce a new book on OpenLDAP for Application Developers and System Administrators running OpenLDAP. Written by Matt Butcher, this book prepares the reader to build a directory using OpenLDAP and then employ this directory in the context of the network, taking a practical approach that emphasizes how to get things done.

This will show you how to set up a Samba Domain Controller with a local LDAP backend, using CentOS 5.x (tested on 5.3, still successfully running on 5.4). Includes a web-interface for managing LDAP users/groups/etc.

This how to will allow you step by to configure a Postfix mail server with with virtual hosting. Virtual hosting means that you can add as many mail domains as you want and sub sequentially as many mailboxes for these domains as you want. Here we we use an LDAP backend for both the MTA (Postfix) and POP3/IMAP server (Dovecot), and a web based management interface.

The configuration of OpenLDAP got a bit (more) complicated. cn=config is still used, but when installing the packages from the repositories only a skeleton configuration of openldap is installed. You're not asked anymore to provide a password when the package is installed and issuing the "dpkg-reconfigure slapd" only resets openldap to the skeleton configuration.

Shishi is GNU implementation of the Kerberos 5 network authentication system. Shishi can be used to authenticate users in distributed systems. Current work items include improvements on the server (KDC), integration of initial authentication via OpenPGP using GnuTLS, set-passwd implementation, and a LDAP backend for the Shisa library used in the KDC for information storage.
