I've been missing something like non-gui-editors and stuff that enables you to present results of LDAP searches on the web. I've been working to get LDAP up running for a while now - maybe I should write a tutorial _________________ Allting har en ende, pølsen den har to. |

Well, I haven't found much software on the web when I installed my server 6 months ago. The best I found were directory administrator and gq, both are in portage.
Do you talk about specific packages not in porage or software missing in general ? |

At first I was talking about portage, but today I'm talking about software missing i general
I've read the manual at openldap.org, but there is still a million "how?", "why?" and "wtf?" in my head _________________ Allting har en ende, pølsen den har to. |

I didn't find that I needed very much software when I set up openldap a couple of weeks ago. The LDAP editor/browser I use is here. It's a java app that works quite nicely on Linux and Windows. Other than that, I think all I needed (all of these are in portage) was openldap, nss-ldap, pam-ldap, and to make sure ldap was in my USE flags so the other software I used had support compiled in (cyrus-imapd, postfix, samba). I'm also using ldapdns to serve some local domains. It all works very smoothly, and I'm quite impressed for my first LDAP setup. I've got all my user accounts in LDAP, with systems authenticating against the directory, my /etc/hosts is in LDAP now, /etc/services as well. Apache authenticates using mod_auth_ldap too. I haven't set up samba yet due to a lack of time, but it'll be using LDAP as well.
I had two main problems, one was understanding LDAP to begin with, since I had never used it before (it's all so simple now...), and the other was configuring SASL in order to use Cyrus. But then, SASL is a pain no matter what. |
