Assignment 2: The Core

Installation and configuration of the secure information service: OpenLDAP (over SSL)

Now, the idea is to build a secure information server that enables us to manage the users, groups, hosts and local service data in a centralized and secure mode, as well as to manage the validation and authentication process. The core of that system will be the LDAP database where the user (username, passwords, GECOS, shell…), host and service data will be stored. We will call this system “LDAP Active Directory Service”.
