Talk:Centralized authentication using OpenLDAP

= Online Configuration =

This guide should be converted to make use of OpenLDAP's online configuration instead of using a slapd.conf. Upstream recommends not to use the slapd.conf file anymore since several years.

I am willing to write a guide. Openldap is a Mountain of config that potentially could have pitfalls. I need someone to review my method.

To start a guide that uses the following.


 * 1) atest stable version of openldap.
 * 2) Using Start tls on port 389.
 * 3) Include an authenticatoin exacmple using sssd(as this seems like the nice way).
 * 4) Use LAM Ldap Account Manager in the guide. This seems sane and I believe will make any guide ten times shorter.

Let me know what do you think. --James.cordell (talk) 10:39, 16 April 2014 (UTC)
