[KLUG Members] Meeting 2005-05-10 - LDAP107: Building A Federated Directory

[listserv at kalamazoolinux.org]

The flexibility of LDAP and the OpenLDAP DSA make it possible to build a
'federated' directory: a directory that brings all your datasources
together. Include data from other DSAs, automatically discover other
DSAs using DNS SRV records, and proving data to LDAP clients from
traditional SQL relational database systems. OpenLDAP can also be used
as the backend for core network services like DNS & DHCP. Your Dit can
become a one-stop-shop for all your administrator's and user's basic
information needs. 

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.
