Installation and development

Welcome to the next step in studying for the Linux certification exam 301. This tutorial series serves as a comprehensive self-study guide so you can take the exams with confidence. And even if you're not preparing for Linux certification at this time, this series helps you build fundamental skills on Linux systems administration.
In this tutorial (the second in a series of six tutorials on exam 301 topics), Sean Walberg walks you through installing and configuring a Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) server, and writing some Perl scripts to access the data. By the end of this tutorial, you'll know about LDAP server installation, configuration, and programming.
