The LDAP naming services chapters are written for system administrators who already have a working knowledge of LDAP. Following is a partial list of concepts with which you must be very familiar. Otherwise, you might have difficulty using this guide to deploy LDAP naming services in the Oracle Solaris system.
LDAP Information Model (entries, object classes, attributes, types, values)
LDAP Naming Model (Directory Information Tree (DIT) structure)
LDAP Functional Model (search parameters: base object (DN), scope, size limit, time limit, filters (browsing indexes for the Oracle Directory Server Enterprise Edition), attribute list)
LDAP Security Model (authentication methods, access control models)
Overall planning and design of an LDAP directory service, including how to plan the data and how to design the DIT, topology, replication, and security
To learn more about any of the preceding concepts or to study LDAP and the deployment of directory services in general, refer to the following sources:
Oracle Directory Server Enterprise Edition Deployment Guide
This guide provides a foundation for planning your directory, including directory design, schema design, the directory tree, topology, replication, and security. The last chapter provides sample deployment scenarios to help you plan both simple, smaller-scale deployments and complex worldwide deployments.
Oracle Directory Server Enterprise Edition Administration Guide
If you need to install Oracle Directory Server Enterprise Edition, refer to the Installation Guide for the version of Oracle Directory Server Enterprise Edition that you are using.
