More complex subjects, like SASL configuration or establishment of a replicating LDAP server that distributes the workload among multiple slaves, were intentionally not included in this chapter. Detailed information about both subjects can be found in the OpenLDAP 2.2 Administrator's Guide.
The Web site of the OpenLDAP project offers exhaustive documentation for beginning and advanced LDAP users:
A very rich question and answer collection concerning installation, configuration, and use of OpenLDAP. Find it at http://www.openldap.org/faq/data/cache/1.html.
Brief step-by-step instructions for installing your first LDAP server. Find it at http://www.openldap.org/doc/admin22/quickstart.html or on an installed system in /usr/share/doc/packages/openldap2/admin-guide/quickstart.html.
A detailed introduction to all important aspects of LDAP configuration, including access controls and encryption. See http://www.openldap.org/doc/admin22/ or, on an installed system, /usr/share/doc/packages/openldap2/admin-guide/index.html.
