I don\u2019t find this stuff in a vacuum (like anything in the Open Source world), and find it quite important to give a nod where a nod is due.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First, to&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.turner.com\">Turner Broadcasting<\/a>&nbsp;who gave me my first shot at doing this in a relatively small environment.&nbsp; There was a ton of time spent on the phone, in online forums, reading documentation, and the like.&nbsp; Everything sort of proceeded from there.&nbsp; I tried to get such a thing into the backend over at&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.weather.com\">The Weather Channel<\/a>, but the climate wasn\u2019t right, and there was a great deal of change going on.&nbsp; Trying to implement such a thing there just wouldn\u2019t have worked out very well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Next, to&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.incomm.com\">Incomm<\/a>.&nbsp; They needed a solution, and Brock (my boss) gave me ample time to get a lot of this together, and to do it right without interruption.&nbsp; Big thanks there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, and most importantly, my best bud&nbsp;<a href=\"mailto:johnbeamon@yahoo.com\">John Beamon<\/a>.&nbsp; He encountered and worked with LDAP long before I did.&nbsp; And, while we have considerably different directories in place between our two mutual organizations, his help in putting together how all this works in my head has been invaluable.&nbsp; I daresay I\u2019ve been into his IM client twice (or more) often as he\u2019d like, gave him props nowhere near as much as I should (like at all), and even with all his own work on his plate, he has helped me out immeasurably.&nbsp; Add to that, he\u2019s a long-time friend and fellow-minister, and that\u2019s just good times right there.&nbsp; They don\u2019t come along like John very often, and I\u2019m grateful to have him as both a friend and fellow nerd.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Kudos, JB!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019m sure there\u2019s still some inaccuracies here, and I\u2019ll be sifting through all this as I continue to build and extend OpenLDAP in this environment.&nbsp; Things will automagically correct before your eyes, most likely.&nbsp; If you find anything that happens to scream \u201cNo!\u201d to you, feel free to drop me a line, and I\u2019ll be happy to make that change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>HappyLDAPping!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I think it is important to make a note about all of the people and places that have helped me ferret out a lot of this configuration.&nbsp;
