This book not only demystifies OpenLDAP, but gives System Administrators and Application Developers a solid understanding of how to use OpenLDAP's directory services.

     OpenLDAP directory server is a mature product that has been around (in one form or another) since 1995. Client applications connect to OpenLDAP using the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) and then can search the directory and (if they have access to appropriate) modify and manipulate records.

     LDAP servers are most often used to provide network-based authentication services for users, but there are many other uses for an LDAP server, including using the directory as an address book, database control, organization tools, or even as a network object store for the application.
