This project uses the Umich LDAP package, with patches to fix various Linux specific bugs, and to enable SSL support. It also uses the SSLeay library (v 8.1 ), and the alpha version of Luke Howard's nss_ldap library.

Patches

Here are the patches we currently have to the Umich LDAP server, and Luke Howard's NSS LDAP library. Patches are applied with 'patch -p0 <patchnam e' and appear listed here in the order in which they should be applied. Note: for a vanilla (no SSL) version just use all but the last ldap-3.3 patch.

The latest snapshot of the nss_ldap module for linux. In this release pw(password) gr(groups) serv(services) proto(protocols) net(networks) and host(hosts) are fully implemented. The install and test procedure have also been updated.

The pwdb (password database) library is used by some linux sytstems (including redhat) to maintain password and group databases. Initial support has been added for maintaining LDAP user/group databases. This is a developer's release. Arbitrarily installing this on your system without understanding the ramifications will result in you not being able to log on. You have been warned.
