I installed Egroupware on my Suse 9.0 server. I would like to use Open LDAP to define all users to this and other applications. If I understand LDAP, it allows users and other information to stored in one place and used by many servers. Does anybody know of a graphical front end to Open LDAP and a good resource for installing and configuring? Thanks

ldap yast sometimes works, NIS yast sometimes works too, only better. If I ran a graphical front end on any of our servers, I'd get the push immediately! Steve.

You might look at using webmin for the server part and Directory Administrator (on the SuSE cd's) for the user administration part. I have used another ldapbrowser, search for Browser281 in google for the site. Not as good as DA but more flexible. -- Ken Schneider unix user since 1989 linux user since 1994 SuSE user since 1998 (5.2)

In SuSE 9.0, you already have a way to setup users in an LDAP directory. It does however, require that you setup your slapd or have access to a remote ldap server. If you are planning on setting up your own LDAP server, a good starting point, would be the migration tools ... these provide a good read, and tools to migrate to ldap. http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LDAP-HOWTO/ldapmigrationtools.html Also, the LDAP howto, is a good read in general when starting. After your ldap server is setup or acquired, you can easily use Yast to edit, modify user base. It's a bit awkward though, and if you want a complete LDAP data explorer. I reccomend this browser: http://www.jxplorer.org/ or http://jxplorer.sourceforge.net/ HTH, Örn
