The LDAP server application provides Directory Services functionality to Windows computers in a manner very similar to Microsoft Active Directory services. Such services include managing the identities and relationships of computers, users, and groups of computers or users that participate in the network, and providing a consistent means to describe, locate, and manage these resources. The freely available implementation of LDAP available for your Ubuntu system is called <emphasis role="italic">OpenLDAP</emphasis>. The server daemons responsible for handling OpenLDAP directory requests and the propagation of directory data from one LDAP server to another on Ubuntu, are <application>slapd</application> and <application>slurpd</application>. OpenLDAP may be used in conjunction with SAMBA to provide File, Print, and Directory services in much the same way a Windows Domain Controller does so long as SAMBA is compiled with LDAP support.
