Ubuntu documentation with regards to LDAP client authentication has been available for a while but is limited to a few directory servers. As more and more companies are looking for a replacement of their legacy Sun Directory Server, I’m happy to relay that Dave Koelmeyer has just posted a very detailed and step by step guide on how to do LDAP authentication with Ubuntu 10.04 and OpenDJ 2.4.1. A nice complement to the official docs. And a nice contribution to the OpenDJ community.
Enjoy !
