BASIC LDAP CONFIGURATION For RHEL / Centos / Fedora
INTRO: LDAP stands for Lightweight Directory Access Protocol. It is used as
centralized data (or
Directory)
server (not database server)
for various purposes.
There
is a difference between Directory server
and a Database server.
In
Directory server
the data is read more frequently than it is
written.
In
Database server
the data is written more frequently than it is
read.
Here
we shall see how LDAP is
used for creating centralized users (Network
users).
The
Network Users can also be configured using NIS
SUPPORTIVE SERVICES:
Configuration
of NFS is
required at server and
client end.
NFS plays
the backbone for LDAP as it provides the Directory
throughout the network.
Without
NFS configuration
of LDAP does
not work.
