    <para>LDAP Account Manager (LAM) manages user, group and host accounts in
    an LDAP directory. LAM runs on any webserver with PHP5 support and
    connects to your LDAP server unencrypted or via SSL/TLS.</para>

    <para>LAM supports Samba 3/4, Unix, Zarafa, Kolab 2/3, address book
    entries, NIS mail aliases, MAC addresses and much more. There is a tree
    viewer included to allow access to the raw LDAP attributes. You can use
    templates for account creation and use multiple configuration
    profiles.</para>
