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 fifth in a
series
of six tutorials
on exam 301 topics), Sean Walberg walks you through integrating LDAP with your
system's logins and applications. He also details the procedure to

services.

Objectives
This tutorial is organized according to the specific objectives of the
LPI exam for this topic. This tutorial can help you study for
certification—or simply build a solid foundation in Linux system
administration.
Prerequisites
To get the most from this tutorial, you should have an advanced knowledge of
Linux and a working Linux system on which to practice the commands covered. If your fundamental Linux skills are a bit rusty, you may want to first review
the
tutorials for the LPIC-1 and LPIC-2 exams.
System requirements
To follow along with the examples in these tutorials, you'll need a Linux
workstation with the OpenLDAP package and support for PAM. Most modern
distributions meet these requirements.
