[Triumf-linux-managers] LDAP

[Hossein Rafighi]

Just to clarify, the page was obsolete and will be removed. However, the 
proper setting for LDAP as it is indicated in the helpdesk ticket is:

In your address book configuration, please make the following changes:
  * for Base DN, use "ou=Users,dc=triumf,dc=ca" (used to be 
"ou=People,o=triumf.ca")
  * for Hostname, use "misldap1.triumf.ca" or "misldap2.triumf.ca" 
(while "admin.triumf.ca" will work, we prefer that the replicants are 
used to avoid performance and downtime issues for clients).

That should be all you need to change - if you run into any problems, 
though, let me know. I'll get rid of that obsolete page too.
