Powerhouse Office Servers With Samba and LDAP

Time: 09:00 to 11:30
Location: OpenAdvantage, 95 Broad Street, Birmingham B15 1AU
Samba is a Windows file/print server package for Unix based systems. Born out of one man's need to connect a DOS client to a Unix based server in 1992, Samba has developed into a mature alternative for serving files and printers to Windows-based clients.
LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) is a hierarcical directory service most often used to store organisational information such as contact details, user information, employee structure of a company etc.. OpenLDAP is perhaps the leading Open Source implementation of the LDAP standard.
Samba and OpenLDAP can be married together to form a stable and secure file/print serving environment. LDAP stores the user, group and client information and Samba queries LDAP for its authentication and authorisation information.
