"Voglmaier has done a good job in proving good LDAP fundamentals. This book seems to me a good introduction to a complex subject and is useful for the beginner. The book explains the important things to know when you will start with LDAP. The book does an excellent job in explaining the installation of LDAPs. The examples included in this book are clear and concise and are selected from both OpenLDAP as well as commercial environments."This book is recommended for both educational as well as personal libraries. Both novice and trained professionals in the field will find something useful in this book."- E-StreamsPromo Copy
