Hello,
I got your adress from LUG
i need some help with acess control with LDAP. Am running centos 5.3
box.Am doing a project on resource allocation and access contol. I
have used squid for authentiation and blocking of unwanted sites plus
all the downloads. i want to use LDAP as my directory and domain with
different access levels on the system i.e, the students, lecturers,
instructors and administrators. i have configured LDAP as domain but
have no idea how to deal with access.I have tried with samba not
nearer. what i what is that different users access different resouces
per their login preferences. I need help please.
