#8 Re: OpenLDAP installation on Debian Posted by Anonymous (204.26.xx.xx) on Thu 20 Mar 2008 at 05:30 Very good article. Although it does add a few additional steps, enabling SSL/TLS for LDAP communication is not particularly difficult, and significantly increases security, especially if you are using LDAP for password authentication. The biggest hassle is generating the SSL cert, signing it, and distributing it to the 'client' machines. Still worth it, IMO. Two other extremely useful things you can put in LDAP, that I don't think enough people are familiar with, are sudo and automounts. Particularly in a corporate environment, having sudoer information and automount information centralized in an LDAP server is amazingly handy.
