[KLUG Members] Meeting 2004-10-12 - LDAP101: An Introduction To LDAP

[listserv at kalamazoolinux.org]

LDAP is a technology well on its way to becoming as pervasive as the web
itself. LDAP is the basis for Microsoft's Active Directory, Novell's
E-Direcotry, as well as several similair products from IBM & Sun. LDAP
is also supported by a vast array of applications from Eudora to Open
Office to the basic Windows Address Book. Understanding LDAP is
fundamental to administering a modern medium to large network. Not to
mention that LDAP is also just 'really cool'. Tonight will be a generic
introduction to LDAP: What is LDAP? The DSA, the data model, and basic
concepts. 

Our presenter:

Adam is a network administrator based in Grand Rapids, but the network
he deals with is all over Michigan, with a couple of hundred
workstations, running Linux and other Operating Systems. Not only does
he deal with domain issues at work, but he is also the owner of the
domain "whitemice.org". Adam has been a regular contributor to technical
discussions on our main mailing list, both presenting and solving some
of the most challenging networking and configuration problems.
