Yet Another LDAP Administrator

YALA is a web-based LDAP administration GUI that is designed to simplify directory administration with a user-friendly graphical interface and useful features. It is a general-purpose program and not limited to managing users on the system, unlike some LDAP browsers. The goal is to make administration simpler without dumbing down the user, and to show the user how YALA works behind the scenes and communicates with the server.

Some of the key features of YALA include a clear and simple interface, cross-platform accessibility from any modern browser, and cute javascript to enhance the web-interface (which can be disabled if desired). Additionally, YALA theoretically works with any LDAP server, with a supported list of LDAP servers provided in the README file. YALA reads the schema from the LDAP server and obtains many useful details from it.

YALA also supports entry types recognition, which allows configuration to recognize an objectclasses X & Y entry as a user entry with a unique icon and easy creation of new entries of this type. YALA is free and comes under the GPL license. The only requirement is PHP.

The latest YALA release includes many changes, mostly new JavaScript/AJAX for a smoother user experience. Overall, YALA is an excellent choice for simplifying directory administration that doesn't compromise on features and user-friendliness.
