1.5. Other General Directory Resources

The following publications have very detailed and useful information about directories, LDAP, and LDIF:

RFC 2849: The LDAP Data Interchange Format (LDIF) Technical Specification, http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2849.txt
RFC 2251: Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (v3), http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2251.txt
Understanding and Deploying LDAP Directory Services. T. Howes, M. Smith, G. Good, Macmillan Technical Publishing, 1999.

All of the Red Hat Directory Server documentation, available at http://redhat.com/docs/manuals/dir-server, also contain high-level concepts about using LDAP and managing directory services, as well as Directory Server-specific information.
