I read most of: <http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/1578700701/ref=pd_bxgy_img_2/002-7184386-1355201?v=glance&s=books> Understanding and Deploying Ldap Directory Services (MacMillan Network Architecture and Development Series), 1-57870-070-1 at Safari.com and, all and all, it explained LDAP pretty well although I do not recall too many examples and I believe that hands-on experience helps understand things better than only reading about it. But before I read it I pretty much did not even know the point of LDAP and after reading most of it I knew what it was and what it is good for. However, the only LDAP servers I recall being mentioned in it were Netscape's and possibly (probably; its been a while), the UM LDAP server that (to the best of my understanding) went on to become OpenLDAP. There is another book, however, that I would like to read as well, <http://www.src.nu/scripts/src/uds/uds.pl> Understanding Directory Services, 0-7357-0910-6 Elizabeth -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
