LDAP is a powerful vendor-neutral application protocol for access directory services. OpenLDAP is a free implementation of LDAP and is used over a network to manage and access a distributed directory service, which can be used for things like PC logins. OpenLDAP is widely used because it’s cost-effective, OS agnostic and flexible. While OpenLDAP is powerful, it’s also complex.

LDAP Account Manager (LAM) is a web frontend for managing entries (e.g. users, groups, DHCP settings) stored in an LDAP directory.
The LDAP Account Manager tool was designed to make LDAP management as easy as possible for the user.

LAM ease administration of LDAP entries by abstracting the technical details of LDAP and allowing administrators and users without technical background to manage LDAP server. If needed, experienced users can directly edit LDAP entries via the integrated LDAP browser.

Very useful and clear, thanks - I subscribed.
Please, can you make a video on how to set up quotas with LAM? 🙏🏻 I have been trying the systemQuotas way (including adding quota.schema) but to no effect on the client... and as an alternative, I can't find a clear explanation on how to properly set up/use lamdaemon... either way will be fine as long as it works 😅
