Summary: Not worth buying--outdated material
Comment: If your objective is to learn the ins & outs of configuring and implementing Openldap, don't bother buying this book as you will not learn anything more than what you could have easily found through google in about 3 minutes. If your objective is learning the conceptual aspects of ldap in general, much better books exist.
Bottem Line: Weak examples, superficial explanations, outdated material. Save your money.
Rating: 4
Summary: Excellent resource for system admins
Comment: Excellent book for people without previous LDAP knowledge. In fact I bought 12 of them for my organization. This is a ractical guide for various components of LDAP. It covers most of the areas that LDAP will have impact. I agree with one review that the information is only true for OpenLDAP. It has a different story if you use Sun ONE LDAP or other LDAP servers.

Summary: Lightweight book on LDAP
Comment: Very thin. One of the most basic uses for LDAP is to setup an address/contacts book. The example in the book didn't even work and was thin on getting things like the postal address to work across multiple programs.
I managed to get my project done using web resources, magazine articles. No thanks to this book. After using the OpenLDAP site for help, I got a very weak address book going that held the minimum information. After launching the book into the corner of my office, I managed to get the full project done to 90% of where I want it to be.
He spends so much time pointing you to different RFCs, in essence, making you do all the work. The reference to where information comes from is great. Mention the RFCs but narrow the information down to help me solve problems.
I hope Oreilly can find an experienced author to re-write this book in a way that helps the people who fork over the money. I have tons of really good Oreilly books. This, however, is a poor poor poor book.
