| This book is one of an on-going series of books collectively known as the Sun
BluePrints™ program. The Solaris™ and LDAP Naming Services BluePrint describes
best practices for planning and deploying naming services based on the Lightweight
Directory Access Protocol (LDAP). The introduction of native LDAP in the Solaris 8
operating environment provides powerful capabilities but is based on a model
unfamiliar to most Solaris system administrators. Understanding general LDAP
concepts and the specific Solaris implementation is key to successful deployment of
resilient enterprise-wide naming services.
The mission of the Sun BluePrints Program is to empower Sun customers with the
technical knowledge required to implement reliable, extensible, and secure
information systems within the data center using Sun products. The Sun BluePrints
Program is managed by the Enterprise Engineering Group, which is part of the
Customer Quality and Availability organization. This group provides a framework
to identify, develop, and distribute best practices information that applies across the
Sun product lines. Technical subject matter experts in various areas contribute to the
program and focus on the scope and usefulness of the information.
The Enterprise Engineering Group is the primary provider of the technical content of
the Sun BluePrints Program that includes books, guides, and online articles.
Through these vehicles, Sun can provide guidance, installation and implementation
experiences, real-life scenarios, and late-breaking technical information.
The monthly electronic magazine, Sun BluePrints OnLine, is located on the Web at
