We recently introduced native LDAP as a naming service in our latest
batch of development server builds.
I'm looking for a good reference book, manual, site in terms of
operational tasks. For example, the default password policy has quickly
become an issue for a few users. I need to better understand if/how to
implement a password policy at the LDAP level or if this is strictly
done at the system level (via /etc/default/passwd or pam.conf or ?).
A few other areas I need to research are roles, profiles, jumpstart,
etc. & understand how much flexibility there is...for example, can I
manage home directory (+profile) based on hostname or do they all need
to be the same?
Also, one architectural question, do companies typically have separate
LDAP infrastructures? One for development environment & one for
production? I'm thinking there has to be a design that would allow for 1
centralized LDAP instance which would then replicate a subset of that
data to other LDAPs.
Thanks,
