Product Description

Product Description

Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) is the standard for directory information access and is the underlying protocol for a variety of email systems, Web systems, and enterprise applications. LDAP enables central management of users, groups, devices, and other data, thereby simplifying directory management and reducing the total cost of ownership. Understanding and Deploying LDAP Directory Services, written by the creators of the protocol, is known as the LDAP bible and is the classic text for learning about LDAP and how to utilize it effectively. The Second Edition builds on this success by acting as an exhaustive resource for designing, deploying, and maintaining LDAP directory services. Topics such as implementation pitfalls, establishing and maintaining user access to information, troubleshooting, and real-world scenarios will be thoroughly explored.



From the Back Cover

Increasingly, organizations are using Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) directories as the nerve centers of their computing infrastructures. LDAP--the Internet standard for directory information access--now provides the naming, location, and security traditionally supplied by network operating systems.

In this expanded second edition of the seminal LDAP reference, Understanding and Deploying LDAP Directory Services, three LDAP experts explain the protocol and how to apply it effectively in numerous network environments. The book begins with an introduction to directory services and LDAP, including coverage of LDAPv3 extensions and the Netscape Directory Server. It then moves on to explore:

  • Designing directory services, including data sources, schema, naming, topology, replication, privacy, and security
  • Deploying directory services, including establishing user access to information, implementation pitfalls, and cost analysis
  • Maintaining directory services, including backup, disaster recovery, and troubleshooting
  • Creating and enabling directory-service applications
  • Integrating directory services

Full of practical implementation advice and real-world examples, Understanding and Deploying LDAP Directory Services, Second Edition, will give you the necessary footing to successfully implement LDAP directory-service projects.

3.0 out of 5 stars MASSIVE BOOK full of details - not for the novice, 25 Jun 1999
By A Customer
This book assumes that you have a good understanding of LDAP and Directory Services, The intro chapters do not cover many basic concepts, many terms are not explained until used several dozen times, and there is no glossary. If you don't know what 'dn: uid=joeb, ou=People, o=foo.com' means, you will get easily confused and frustrated by this book.

That said, this is an excellent reference book, contains many useful examples, and goes into great detail about LDAP and directory services.

1.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing, 27 Mar 2001
By A Customer
This is a classic case of a 800 page book that should have been edited down to 200 pages of useful information. There are plenty of free guides / introductions to LDAP avaiable on the Internet without having to purchase this book. Save you money and buy the sister book to this that covers the LDAP programming interface you will learn much more by doing (LDAP: Programming Directory Enabled) it's... half the weight but twice the content.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good value for money, 24 April 1999
By A Customer
There is a lot information available about the technical side of Directories and LDAP. This book gives also gives a good overview on the uses and benefits of Directories and more important on the design. The design guidelines are not only useful for LDAP but can also be used with NDS and X.500. For the time being it is my "bible" on Directories.
