<header>LDAP Users and Groups</header>

If your system is configured to use an LDAP server for storing Unix users and
groups, this module can be used to manage users in an LDAP database. LDAP is
often used as an alternative to NIS for synchronizing user information across
multiple systems in a network, as a database can store additional attributes
for each user in addition to the standard Unix username, shell and so on. <p>

Naturally, an LDAP server must be running on your system or on some host
on your network for this module to be used. In addition, one or most hosts
must be configured to use LDAP for user and/or group authentication. Neither
of these tasks can be done from within the module - they must be done manually,
or with other Webmin modules for the purpose. <p>

If you have Samba configured to use an LDAP server as well, this module can
also create and manage the necessary password attributes for each LDAP user
to be able to login to the Samba server as well. For this feature to work,
your LDAP server must be configured to support the additional Samba attributes
and object class for each user in its schema. Only when the <b>Samba login?</b>
option is set to <b>Yes</b> will the Samba attributes be created. <p>

The module can also create users on a Cyrus IMAP server, if it is set up to
authenticate against the same LDAP database. It will create mailboxes for
each new user, subscribe the user to his mailboxes and grant admin access
to them. If an LDAP user is deleted, his IMAP mailbox will be as well. Currently
this feature only works with the Cyrus IMAP server - it has not been tested
and is probably not even necessary for other servers, which use users' home
directories for mail storage. <p>
