I've been reading about LDAP for the last couple of years, and finally got to start planning an implementation. I've settled for a pretty simple config, where I would put user info (unix), samba and general user info on LDAP for starters (future plans is SSH public keys and host based access rules) But...I'm feeling like I'm drowning, I've read the o'reilly book, and I've googled my behind off. And so far I have found that LDAP is like PERL , there is no ONE way of doing it:)... I've read the white papers at redhat.com, and managed to get SMB authentication to work, but the one thing that keeps bugging me is this: Do I have to write my own data entry interface ? I had hoped to let the people at HR do the data entry on the "soft" information , while the operations people do the "hard" information. I hoped FDS would have something I could use, but I'm unable to figure out if it has a web interface or if it must be entry via the X-Windows program. I'm sorry to be so whiny :)..and yes I'll have some cheese later, but please, anyone throw me a friggin' bone here :)
