I agree that Gerald Carter's book makes LDAP understandable.

The reality is that the LDAP API is pretty much the same and you
actually use openldap-client and nss-ldap tools even with CentOS-DS. I
haven't used CentOS-DS but I have used Fedora-DS and it is built from
Fedora-DS. The difference between them is setup of schema, certificates,
ACL's/ACI's and I found once I understood OpenLDAP, that Fedora-DS was
easy enough to use with only a few questions.
