<para>Therefore, LAM is split into two separate parts, LAM for admins and
for users. LAM for admins allows to manage various types of LDAP entries
(e.g. users, groups, hosts, ...). It also contains tools like batch
upload, account profiles, LDAP schema viewer and an LDAP browser. LAM for
users focuses on end users. It provides a self service for the users to
edit their personal data (e.g. contact information). The LAM administrator
is able to specify what data may be changed by the users. The design is
also adaptable to your corporate design.</para>
<para><emphasis role="bold">Configuration</emphasis></para>
<para>LAM for admins/users is accessible via HTTP(S) by all major web
browsers (Firefox, IE, Opera, ...).</para>
<para>Configuration is done on multiple levels:</para>
<para><emphasis role="bold">LAM runtime environment:</emphasis></para>
<para><emphasis role="bold">Global</emphasis></para>
<para>LAM runs on PHP. Therefore, it is independant of CPU architecture
and operating system (OS). You can run LAM on any OS which supports
Apache, Nginx or other PHP compatible web servers.</para>
<para>Effective for all parts of LAM (e.g. logging and password
policy).</para>
<para><emphasis role="bold">Home directory server:</emphasis></para>
<para>Configured via LAM admin login -&gt; LAM configuration -&gt; <link

<para>You can manage user home directories and their quotas inside LAM.
The home directories may reside on the server where LAM is installed or
any remote server. The commands for home directory management are secured
by SSH. LAM will use the user name and password of the logged in LAM
administrator for authentication.</para>
<para><emphasis role="bold">Server profile</emphasis></para>
<para><emphasis role="bold">LDAP directory:</emphasis></para>
<para>All settings for an LDAP connection (e.g. server name, LDAP
suffixes, account types/modules to activate). There may be multiple for

supports encrypted connections with SSL and TLS.</para>
