LAM - Readme
============
LDAP Account Manager (LAM) manages user, group and host accounts in an LDAP
directory. LAM runs on any webserver with PHP4/5 support and connects to your
LDAP server unencrypted or via SSL/TLS.
Currently LAM supports these account types: Samba 2 and 3, Unix, Kolab 2,
address book entries, NIS mail aliases and MAC addresses. 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.
LAM is translated to Catalan, English, French, German, Hungarian, Italian,
Spanish and Japanese.

Internationalization:
If you want to use a translated version of LAM be sure to install the
needed locales. See locale/ for a list of supported locales and languages.
Debian users can add locales with "dpkg-reconfigure locales".
Security:
It is strongly recommended to use a SSL connection to your web server.
LAM needs to store your LDAP user name + password in the session. The session
files are saved in sess/ and are accessible only by the web server. To increase
security username and password are encrypted with MCrypt/AES if available.
The key and IV are generated at random when you log in. They are stored in two
cookies.
