Implement PostgreSQL as SQL backend for OpenLDAP with OpenLDAP-PostgreSQL Linux HOWTO guide, facilitating easier usage of both tools.
Unlike other HOWTOs, this guide assumes that you already have a basic understanding of OpenLDAP, PostgreSQL, and iODBC. Instead, it focuses on providing a personal installation perspective for these apps.
On the new version, the guide offers detailed installation and configuration requirements, allowing users to have OpenLDAP running seamlessly with a PostgreSQL backend. The guide also presents a complete live example, demonstrating how to work with a medium-sized directory.
What's more, the guide features an example of the production setup used in the author's company. Here, the master Bekerley db backend is replicated to a remote LDAP directory using PostgreSQL as a backend. This example serves as a valuable resource for users who manage complex production environments.
Overall, the OpenLDAP-PostgreSQL Linux HOWTO is a well-written, thorough, and insightful resource for developers and IT professionals looking to extend the functionality of OpenLDAP using PostgreSQL. It is a must-read for anyone seeking to improve their OpenLDAP installation and maximize the system's potential.
