Setting up LDAP on Linux

I work as an application manager in the IT industry. As you work you come across something that challenges your skills and knowledge. I used to work in the stage and the production environment. But suddenly, one day, they had a requirement which actually needed me to set up a LDAP server for testing purposes on development environment. A new challenge to me. I though since we were using Windows, Active directory would be far better. However, this was a new challenge.

I kept on working on it for two days. Also took help from one of my colleagues who had a lot of experience in the development environment. But setting up LDAP on Linux is surely a pain in the neck. Most of the time you are confused in the sense, like whats next? why?

Need to keep your mind open. :)

But recently I have come across a wonderful article by Jack Wallen
