Not only is OpenLDAP a useful tool in which to store information, such as the names, phone numbers and
addresses of everyone in an organization, but it can also be used to store Unix account information. Not
only that, but it can store passwords as well, which means that it can be used for authentication as
well as authorization.

Debian GNU Setting up OpenLDAP
The purpose of this article is to give you a straight-forward,
Debian-friendly way of installing and configuring
OpenLDAP.
By the end of this guide, you will have a functional LDAP
server that will serve as a central authentication system
for user logins onto all machines in the network, without
the need to manually create users' accounts on individual machines.
