I am at the planning stage of an LDAP deployment, having user accounts, PAM, Courier IMAP, Postnuke and Postfix authentication via LDAP
I would be really keen to hear a basic overview of the issues involved in planning this, and where to go for further info. For example where to go to find out about Schemas required, how to plan a domain layout (I have one machine supporting two mail domains...). This is only going to support a few users, but might grow to multiple machines at some point I have setup a global Win2K AD based domain, but I have to confess that I still don't really understand how one ought to setup LDAP...
