Thanks for your explaination, I think I get it now.

So you can use DS for many purposes such a single login to different web services such as phonebook, e-mails, computer logins and etc.

Where can I found some useful tutorial to teach me how to setup the single login?

The way we use it at work is kind of weird (atleast that's what I think).
We use it to store CORBA reference and client application uses the DS to query for the reference to perform remote invocations.
RFC 2714 explains the usage of CORBA with LDAP.

I would like to learn more about how people use the LDAP beside the typical phonebook, emails and comptuer logins.  Is there any other common usages or special usage that I am missing?  I would like to take more advantage from the LDAP.

thanks for reading!

Single sign-on just means that the users logs into their computer ( /
the network) once, and is then authenticated to lots of different
services. For example, I log in to my laptop, and then don't have to
type a username and password to use mail, employee directory, wiki,
etc.
