2004-10-12 - LDAP101: An Introduction To LDAP

LDAP is a technology well on its way to becoming as pervasive as the web
itself. LDAP is the basis for Microsoft's Active Directory, Novell's
E-Direcotry, as well as several similair products from IBM & Sun. LDAP
is also supported by a vast array of applications from Eudora to Open
Office to the basic Windows Address Book. Understanding LDAP is
fundamental to administering a modern medium to large network. Not to
mention that LDAP is also just 'really cool'. Tonight will be a generic
introduction to LDAP: What is LDAP? The DSA, the data model, and basic
concepts.

2004-11-16 - LDAP102: Building An OpenLDAP DSA

Now that we've covered basic LDAP concepts in LDAP101, tonight will
cover building, installing, configuring, and securing an OpenLDAP DSA.
How to use the OpenLDAP utilities, migrating existing flat files to
LDAP, setting up LDAP authentication in PAM, backing up your Dit
(Directory Information Tree), and replicating your Dit for redundancy.

2004-12-14 - LDAP103: Using LDAP for service authentication

Now that you have a running DSA on your network (as of LDAP102!) you
probably want to do more with it. Tonight we will cover using LDAP as
the authentication subsystem for a variety of applications: PAM, Apache,
Squid, OpenGroupware, and SASL (Cyrus IMAPd, Sendmail, etc...) You can
have one username with one password for ALL services!

2005-02-22 - LDAP104: Constructing a directory enabled mail service

Probably the second application to be integrated into your directory
service will be mail, authentication being the first. By integrating
your mail servers* with LDAP would create a highly robust and flexible
system for supporting the Internets single most important application:
electronic mail. You can have all your mail routes, black lists, rules,
and aliases in your LDAP Dit, and control you mail service without
resorting to shell access. *(sendmail for SMTP, and Cyrus IMAP as the
store provider will be assumed for sake of the presentation, but all
these concepts are universally applicable)

2005-03-15 - LDAP105: LDAP Clients

So you have a working LDAP DSA? Now you want to get the data. This
presentation will provide a survey of the best LDAP clients as well as
how to configure various popular clients (Outlook, OOo, WAP, Evolution,
etc...) to best utilize your directory services.

2005-04-12 - LDAP106: OpenLDAP Administration & Advanced Topics

OpenLDAP provides a great many features for tuning performance and
redundancy. Various backends such as ldap and meta allow you to
construct custom views of directory data. This presentation will dig
into the deep secrets of managing and utilitizing an OpenLDAP DSA.

2005-05-10 - LDAP107: Building A Federated Directory

The flexibility of LDAP and the OpenLDAP DSA make it possible to build a
'federated' directory: a directory that brings all your datasources
together. Include data from other DSAs, automatically discover other
DSAs using DNS SRV records, and proving data to LDAP clients from
traditional SQL relational database systems. OpenLDAP can also be used
as the backend for core network services like DNS & DHCP. Your Dit can
become a one-stop-shop for all your administrator's and user's basic
information needs
