I have been using LDAP as a central data store for a very long time. Back when I had a home Asterisk PBX, I had an LDAP directory that functioned as a household phone book and source of caller-ID data for the IP phones installed through the home. This LDAP directory was also the authentication … Continue reading LDAP on z/VM as an Open Authentication Source

A lot easier to maintain than the original version I implemented ages ago, too. A bit of PHP code does the trick! I'm using FreePBX … Continue reading LDAP Caller ID again!
We bit the bullet here at the new Ellendale data centre. LDAP authentication! Works like a bought one.Coinciding with the relocation of the prime server from Rubicon DC to Ellendale DC, we've implemented LDAP authentication for Linux and Mac OS X clients. There's also automounted home directories to boot! It went quite smoothly, all things considered. Now will come … Continue reading Veejoe goes LDAP
