LDAP on Ubuntu 8.04 is a great choice for managing multiple services with one directory.

There are several reasons that make LDAP an excellent choice.

1. Consolidation - One huge advantage of LDAP is the ability to use one directory of information containing users and user data and access that one directory from many different services. For example one directory could be used for email, samba, squid, web browsers, etc. The time savings for providing one directory for all services is a great advantage.

2.Directory Information - LDAP makes it possible to add additional information into the directory that the organization may want to provide. Information like, phone numbers, addresses, office location, etc.

3. Speed - A directory system is designed for fast reads. This means that all processes that require user data will operate faster.
