An excellent book, and great introduction to LDAP

This is honestly one of the best computer books I have read. The authors have an informal style that is also very precise, and they're able to cover a lot of information in a very short time.Although the book emphasises Novell's eDirectory, and many chapters are about configuring and running LDAP services on eDirectory, the LDAP concepts are valid for any LDAP server, and the code is written to work in C or Java on many platforms and with many SDKs. If you're not an eDirectory user, you may want to become one after reading this book. I strongly recommend this as a primary resource for any LDAP developer, and for eDirectory systems administrators and developers in particular.

An indepth look at LDAP and Novell's LDAP implementation

Novell's LDAP Developer's Guide, provides a wealth of information on the Novell's Implementation of LDAP including the details of utilizing Novell's NDS through their LDAP implementation. But better still are the discussions and use of the LDAP itself. This book is packed with useful a example such as the chapter on Searching, which is very comprehensive, the best I've seen. The book covers all aspects of LDAP from Schema, Simple Binding, to the latest in DirXML work. The authors have organized the book quick well and filled it with clear and detailed explanations, and working examples. When reading this book you not only get an understanding of Novell's Implementation of LDAP but much much more! This book is a good reference for both Novell's LDAP but also LDAP in general knowledge

Great resource for information about LDAP.

I have read several LDAP books and I have found this one to be the most clear with some of the best examples. No matter which LDAP directory you are using!It is a must have for anyone who is using or evaluating Novell's eDirectory or NDS.The sections on LDIF and schema have saved me alot of time and I constantly refer to them. I have been referring everyone with LDAP questions to this book.
