I encourage you to look at things from the perspective of someone new to LDAP, or maybe someone new to directory services in general.
LDAP already introduces its own terminology which is a little confusing at first. And it is an object database, which will be less familiar to many people than a relational database. Add to that the 'database number' thing when it might not be clear to beginners what is going into which one and why.
- philjohn 8y agoIf you're totally new to LDAP (which despite being "just an object database" has many bells and whistles to fit into various deployments) there is always going to be a little friction at first - there's a reason people make good money offering consultancy and support for LDAP servers. It's not something you're going to be able to get setup and running in an afternoon, and that's fine, some things are too complex to just be thrown together.
