You may also want to check out Implementing LDAP by WROX press. It is pretty generic to LDAP but does touch on Netscape and OpenLDAP.

But before I read it I pretty much did not even know the point of LDAP and after reading most of it I knew what it was and what it is good for. However, the only LDAP servers I recall being mentioned in it were Netscape's and possibly (probably; its been a while), the UM LDAP server that (to the best of my understanding) went on to become OpenLDAP. There is another book, however, that I would like to read as well, <http://www.src.nu/scripts/src/uds/uds.pl> Understanding Directory Services, 0-7357-0910-6 Elizabeth -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
