LDAPService
-------------
LDAP Self Service Manager or lssm as I am currently calling it, is a tool to allow for user
self-management and password recovery based a fairly typical LDAP setup.

The setup assumes you have users in an objectclass that contains 'userPassword'
as the attribute that contains their password and that 'self-write' is enabled
on that attribute. Most everything else is configurable in the configuration
file, which is simple YAML.

This project allows for:
* Self service of any self-writable attribute
* Password Recovery if a password is forgotten

Status
-------
Project is still pre-alpha. It has some basic functionality, but bugs are
probably quite common. Also, the TODO list is growing quite long.

Setup
------
Right now this expects you check it out in /srv/lssm
Then run 'sudo rake httpd' on Fedora/RHEL/Centos
or 'sudo rake apache2' on Debian

* Install the proper Packages
* Ensure you can send email from the system
* Update your configuration file

Issue with TLS/SSL
* If you're using SSL on your directory and your system-wide ldap.conf is not world-readable
you can get odd errors that say 'unable to contact ldap server'. If this happens, create a
.ldaprc in your web-server user's home directory. See man ldap.conf(5).

Notes:
------
* The rakefile is a joke and only there for my test setup currently
(more or less)
