"Understanding And Deploying LDAP Directory Services",
by Timothy A. Howes,Phd, Mark C. Smith and Gordon S. Good,
ISBN 1-57870-070-1, MacMillan Technical Publishing
This is the largest LDAP book I own. It is general in nature but complete
in that it covers all concepts in depth. It is NOT a good programmers
reference but it is good for those wanting to understand everything
about LDAP and its' capabilities.

"Programming Directory-Enabled Applications with Lightweight Directory
Access Protocol"
by Timothy A. Howes,Phd and Mark C. Smith
ISBN 1-57870-000-0, MacMillan Technical Publishing
Excellent programmers reference for those using the LDAP C language API.
Also covers search filters and LDAP URL's.
The OpenLDAP source code is so poorly commented that I found this book
often was the only source for an explainion of what was happinging in the
code.
