I've been wanting to refactor my LDAP presentation, so this is actually a good
oportunity.

Okay, so...

LDAP 101 : Introduction to LDAP, setting up an OpenLDAP DSA.

As described by Bob' LDAP part I.

LDAP 102 : Using LDAP for service authentication (SASL, Apache, PAM)
LDAP 103 : Constructing a directory enabled mail service
LDAP 104 : The care and feeding of an OpenLDAP DSA

The three above.

LDAP 105 : Constructing a federated directory

Using your DSA to provide MORE information, data from other DSAs (referrals) and
meta-directories (RDBMS systems, etc...)

LDAP 106: LDAP & GSSAPI (Kerberos V)

Building a directory enabled Kerberos network.
