[KLUG Members] Re: Updated LDAP Presentation

>>I've posted a new copy of the LDAP presentation
>>ftp://kalamazoolinux.org/pub/pdf/ldapv3.pdf
>>Changes
>>1. Lots of typos and grammar fixes (thanks to wifal unit)
>>2. Nearly complete section on Samba/LDAP PDC
>>3. Nearly complete section on Open LDAP & ILS

This section is now complete.  Netmeeting and GNOME Meeting are saluting
each other across the network.

>>4. Authenticate xmlBlaster connections via LDAP
>>5. Reference to ldif to vcard utility
>>6. Start of a back-sql section (~50%)
>>7. Start of an LDAP & C section (~30%)

The functions required in order to write a query application are all
documented.  A simple C program that retrieves objects and displays
their content is presented.  It may take awhile before I get to the C
modification routines as I don't use C to do this.

8. Start of a DSML (LDAP over XML) section.

Your appreciation is appreciated.

I've thought about it,  but I don't think it is all to that point yet.

True.  One of the reasons I created this presentation (primarily for my
own use) was that while documentation is available for each service it
is spread hither and yon in so many formats.  It was constantly "Where
did I read about that?"  I just started collecting it all in one place,
and this presentation was born.  Problem now is that sections will
probably become obselete over time,  which is why I added the slide
indicating where the master copy is.
