A concise guide to LDAP

As I continue slogging through a lot of disjointed writing and thoughts about identity and a meta description for identity I was looking for something online which described LDAP fairly clearly, contained some information about it from a big picture point of view and delved into a bit of arcane information (schemas and the like). I actually found something which meets those needs.

LDAP for Rocket Scientists isn't, but that's quite alright. While not perfect, it does seem to be a terrific overview with a lot of nuts and bolts information relating to OpenLDAP and many external links and references.

I might actually have to pitch in and help on the protocol level should the time ever arrive. I still need to find some more use of multibyte byte encoding rules (one afternoon I figured out the one [and most of the two] byte BER rules by inspection, the docs and code made a whole lot more sense afterward) to make sure I know what's going on but the rest is straight forward enough.
