A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture

Increasingly, organizations are using Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) directories as the nerve centers of their computing infrastructures. LDAP--the Internet standard for directory information access--now provides the naming, location, and security traditionally supplied by network operating systems.

In this expanded second edition of the seminal LDAP reference, Understanding and Deploying LDAP Directory Services, three LDAP experts explain the protocol and how to apply it effectively in numerous network environments. The book begins with an introduction to directory services and LDAP, including coverage of LDAPv3 extensions and the Netscape Directory Server. It then moves on to explore:

• Designing directory services, including data sources, schema, naming, topology, replication, privacy, and security
• Deploying directory services, including establishing user access to information, implementation pitfalls, and cost analysis
• Maintaining directory services, including backup, disaster recovery, and troubleshooting
• Creating and enabling directory-service applications
• Integrating directory services

Full of practical implementation advice and real-world examples, Understanding and Deploying LDAP Directory Services, Second Edition, will give you the necessary footing to successfully implement LDAP directory-service projects.
