Do you need a single point to add users within your organization for
authenticating to multiple backends like your Linux servers? You've
probably looked at OpenLDAP and found the same problem a lot of other
users have: bad documentation and ridiculously hard to configure. Having
done some installations of OpenLDAP in the past, the search was on to
find a good alternative and more importantly, one that is far easier to

nginx: How To Set A Connection Limit For Search Engine Bots Gone Wild (Especially Bingbot)
nginx: How To Set A Connection Limit For Search Engine Bots Gone Wild (Especially Bingbot)
As a server administrator you might know this problem: you have done
everything to optimize your server and it's working really well, and
along comes a stupid search engine bot (like Bingbot) and hits all your
vhosts at the same time with hundreds of connections, making your server
load go up. Of course, you don't want to completely block the bot
(unless you don't care about that particular search engine), so you can
use robots.txt and/or nginx to control connections of a search engine bot to your server.
