I built my company's LDAP infrastructure using OpenLDAP from scratch. It's redefined my pain threshold in the process!
OpenLDAP is a solid piece of software, no doubt, but there's one critical problem - most of the guides are third-party because the OpenLDAP documentation has been pretty lacking for a long time, and those guides are usually from the era before the entire thing was redesigned around OLC and LDIF! Adapting the guides is beyond irritating. I'm now at the stage where I have the schema defined and I no longer want to touch it, /ever/!
- oblio 8y agoMy guess is that it's consultingware. Open Source projects with crap documentation usually are. You're meant to hire the devs as consultants. I could be wrong, but it's a common pattern.
