New to LDAP? Check this book out.,

This review is from: Solaris and LDAP Naming Services: Deploying LDAP in the Enterprise (Paperback)
This Solaris Blueprint will be of interest to anyone wishing to evaluate LDAP for use in their enterprise. The book focuses upon implementing the iPlanet Directory Services which come bundled with Solaris 8. If your main desire is to setup a working LDAP server using this software, this book is for you. Helpful chapters include setting up a secure server, integrating the Solaris native LDAP client with the iPlanet server, and some recommendations for server sizing and tuning. I was somewhat disappointed that the book did not go into greater depth about key issues, such as integrating with other LDAP-enabled products. Most of us have to deal with NT authentication, Exchange servers, and other heterogenous environments. This book only gives a single-product plug when discussing synchronization issues. If you're looking for non-product specific information, you'll need to keep looking elsewhere.

Best Iplanet Technical Reference Available,
By Barry Ribbeck (Houston, TX) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Solaris and LDAP Naming Services: Deploying LDAP in the Enterprise (Paperback)
This book is by far the best Technical Reference for anyone running Iplanet LDAP directory services. This book contains information that the MFG should have included in the management documentation. At least 50% of the book is devoted to installation configuration and tuning of the Iplanet LDAP server. I wish this half had been written as an administrators guide years ago. The Solaris naming service piece is well written as well. Lots of examples for configuring from both the command line and the gui. A MUST HAVE for anyone running IPLANET LDAP
