RH141 Red Hat Directory Server Administration Fast Track Course

Course Description

This course teaches participants directory server fundamentals and basic Red Hat Directory Server administration in a rapid track two day format, focusing on the essential aspects of managing and maintaining the directory server. RH141 introduces LDAP, including how to understand a directory and search it for information. It then shows how to set up the Red Hat Directory server and how to administer it.

Participants who desire a deeper understanding of the administration of directory servers should consider the four day RH145 Red Hat Directory Server Administration course.

    require indepth knowledge of command line Linux.
  • RH033 Red Hat Linux Essentials is useful, but not
