Yes it's quite old but it's still relevant. Some things may have changed a bit, like how ppolicies are supported or some overlays, but the core config has not. ACL are the same and imho it's the most accurate pages I came accross.
FreeIPA is Red Hat unified Central Authentication server. It is packaged with different softwares over 389DS (red hat ..) and does way more than just providing LDAP. Clients are enrolled and it connects with LDAP and Kerberos, FreeIPA can manage DNS and certificates
As far as I know there is no opensource alternative packaged like this. If you're looking for a solution to manage users and permissions, it may be the way to go as you don't manage Ldap underneath, which is OK if you don't know it.
If you need LDAP to do a lot more, OpenLDAP is for you.

Hello, everyone.
- @cyril, Your link is not a website about the “step by step” tutorial. Can you recommend some websites like this?
- @becot, your
book. It was 7 years ago. Do you think it is still ok now?
- Today I learned about a software called
FreeIPA. but FreeIPA uses 389 Directory Server that is a very different project compared to OpenLDAP. So do you know what software that uses OpenLDAP can replace FreeIPA?

I talks about “sysncrepl” multiple times
