Patch to allow LDAP URLs

Diverts ldap_init() call to ldap_initialize() if an URL is provided, also a
hack into skipping host:port parsing kludge.

LDAP URL patch was applied upstream in v2.0.6

Renaming bug for adding howto guide.

[Comment 8 Sven Vermeulen (RETIRED) 2005-06-02 11:47:06 UTC]

Would you mind checking out http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/ldap-howto.xml and give
an update for that guide? Better to integrate it in the existing LDAP Howto than
to add another one.

[Comment 9 Sven Vermeulen (RETIRED) 2005-07-02 04:12:04 UTC]

Okay, better to use a separate guide for this instead.

Sorry bit late, its okay, you can put it under the CC-BY-SA license.

[Comment 12 Sven Vermeulen (RETIRED) 2005-07-25 10:20:50 UTC]

I've committed a first rough draft. It basically has the stuff which is in the
README but in GuideXML. I still need to test it, I don't know if the creating of
the bootstrap.ldif is correct and I should add information on how clients need
to deal with the nameserver (edit resolv.conf).

Working draft: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/draft/ldapdns-guide.xml

[Comment 13 Sven Vermeulen (RETIRED) 2005-07-30 07:39:31 UTC]

Would you mind taking a look at the "Configuring OpenLDAP" stuff? I'm pretty
sure the ldif stuff is wrong in the guide and I don't have a system yet to test
it on.
