There's not a tutorial about single sign-on yet, but I think we should
be writing (at least a simple one) in the near future. A lot of work
still remains to make it work smoothly at a technical level, but its
going forward with Fedora (also e.g. using smartcards as the way to do
single sign-on).
As a matter of "what people are doing" research, I'd be interested in
hearing about non-phonebook / non-authentication use of LDAP too, if
anyone else on the list is using it in interesting ways.

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!
