You obviously know far more about this than me, and you have been very helpful to me on this subject, but I feel you are being far too sweeping here. My conclusion after hitting my head against the wall many times is that by far the simplest way to do anything with openLDAP is through phpLDAPadmin, which really does make the construction of an LDAP "directory" quite straightforward. (PhpMyAdmin does much the same for MySQL - are they both written by the same person or team? - I have found them two of the most useful tools in Linux.) PhpLDAPadmin offers an Address Book template for adding entries, which does seem to me to provide a more or less standard address book, with entries following the inetOrgPerson objectClass. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
