Understanding Directory Services by Doug Sheresh, Beth Sheresh Understanding Directory Services is the most in-depth resource available on directory services theory, architecture, and design, supplying a conceptual framework and critical background information to technical professionals who are implementing or integrating directory services on their networks.
This book provides the reader with a thorough knowledge of the fundamentals of directory services; what they are, how they are designed, and what functionality they can provide. Understanding Directory Services explains directory services from a networking perspective–from the origins of distributed directory services in X. 500 to the directories offered with current networking platforms. An unbiased explanation of the technologies used in directory services is presented, rather than a vendor or product- focused perspective. By explaining key directory technologies, and clarifying the integration of those technologies into Active Directory (AD) and Novell Directory Services (NDS), this book provides the background you need to understand the underlying design and operations involved in all directory services.

Big Book of Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (Ldap) Rfcs by Pete Loshin (Compiler), Bill McCarthy Lightweight Directory Access Protocol, LDAP, is the mechanism that makes universally interoperable directory services applications possible. The network directory market is emerging as one of the most important, with LDAP playing a central role in all directory solutions. Although no single document specifies LDAP entirely, there are many Requests for Comments (RFCs) that describe LDAP and how it works.
This book collects these essential documents in a single printed volume, and adds an introduction and extensive index. This means you no longer have to search through countless RFCs to find the correct answer to your LDAP question all current RFCs are compiled in a single book, with an index that makes specific information about LDAP even easier to locate. Every current RFC describing or affecting an aspect of LDAP is collected in this volume, including RFCs formally defining LDAP, describing LDAP’s interactions with other protocols, and informational documents that explain how LDAP operates. If you buy one LDAP reference, this is the one to choose. Written by members of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) and its steering group, the IESG, this compilation is the most complete and authoritative LDAP reference available.

Since that time, Microsoft, Netscape, IBM, Novell and other companies have adopted LDAP as a complete directory services solution.
This is the essential resource for programmers, software engineers, and network administrators who need to understand and implement LDAP to keep software applications compliant.

Implementing LDAP by Mark Wilcox This book is intended for programmers and system administrators who need to build LDAP clients and install LDAP servers. It likely will also appeal to that group of experienced Web users who have heard about LDAP but wants a definitive reference on the subject. There are three specific issues that will be addressed by this book.
The first issue will be to help provide a guiding hand to those administrators who must provide LDAP services to their clients (whether Internet, Intranet or Extranet). Secondly it will assist the programmer who is trying to build LDAP clients and provide legacy access to their data. Third it will discuss the common errors/pitfalls that are inherent in installing a LDAP server, in particular the Netscape Directory server.
