Peter Gietz

Zusammenfassung

OpenLDAP is an Open Source implementation of the network protocol and object oriented database system called Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP). The importance of this IETF standard is continuing to increase and OpenLDAP proves to be a usefull and stable implementation. The paper gives an introduction into the LDAP data model (attribute definitions, objectclass definitions, Directory Information Base, Directory Information Tree) and operational protocol (authentication operations, retrieval operations and data update operations). Thereafter an overview about the OpenLDAP implementation, its structure and features is given. The paper ends with examples of OpenLDAP deployment, namely white pages service, central authentication system and schema registry service. The latter example also introduces into the subjectspace "Metadata" This paper is intended for anyone interested in the subject.
