Authenticate with LDAP

摘要

Last month, we did some of the preliminary work in set-ting up an OpenLDAP server. We installed the base, server and, where applicable, client packages for OpenLDAP, and we entered some basic configuration information into the file /etc/openldap/slapd.conf (slapd is OpenLDAP's server daemon). This month, we configure TLS encryption, start the daemon and begin building an LDAP database. We won't have a finished authentication server yet, but we'll be pretty close. Next month, in this series' third and final installment, we'll get there.
