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, Chinese (Traditional + Simplified), Czech,
Dutch, English, French, German, Hungarian, Italian, Japanese, Russian and
Spanish.

Documentation:
Basic documentation is available in the directory "docs".
Upgrade from older versions:

Internationalisation:
If you want to use a translated version of LAM be sure to install the
needed locales. See the LAM "locale" directory for a list of supported locales and languages.
You can get a list of all installed locales on your sysem by executing: locale -a
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.
