LDAP Resources

ORBIT uses the open-source implementation of the The Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) from ​http://www.openldap.org/ OpenLDAP. Many of the ideas about using LDAP to implement RBAC on ORBIT are from this site. There is also an O'Reilly book: ​http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1565924916/ Car03 Gerald Carter. LDAP System Administration. O'Reilly Media, Inc., Sebastopol, CA, USA, March 2003.
