Hello,
I wonder which of you are the best open-source tools to maintain a database, which currently are the best if they leave ... I want to integrate environment, leave everything tied in (LDAP proxy, samba, e-mail clients, asterisk, joomla!) I see much talk of phpldapadmin, it is that all who speak it?

There are others too: http://www.openldap.org/faq/data/cache/270.html http://www.openldap.org/faq/data/cache/268.html
But unfortunately most of them are unmaintained. I'd not use these even often recommended: - Gawor's LDAP Browser/Editor (bugs in DN handling) - gq (AFAIK rather unmaintained) - even JXplorer has bugs regarding schema handling leading to situations where you can't do anything right (attribute types with more than one NAME in it, try an entry where 'uid' must be set on OpenLDAP).
Which one you prefer depends on what you really need, e.g. who's going to use it.
Ciao, Michael.
P.S.: Regarding "best": Being the author of web2ldap I'm biased... ;-)
Except mentioned gq, which is quite fast, although buggy a little bit, I'd recommend also ldapvi tool (under shell, actual editor configrable via $EDITOR env variable, can use other than vi if you wish), and excellent eclipse plugin for ldap directory - slow, but magnificent, includes ldap filter editor, built-in userPassword encryption, automatic decoding of base64 strings and more conveniency-oriented features It's named Apache Directory Studio, and stand-alone version (without full eclipse) is also available.

Hopefully this won't come off as self-marketing, however, we have been working on a product along similar lines for a while now. The product is called "Zivios" and is available here: http://www.zivios.org. Read a bit about it (especially the blog if you want to checkout some screens of the coming release) and see if it makes sense for you. It's open-source and extending it for joomla, would be fairly trivial.
Do note that the current release is not production ready, however maybe you would be interested enough to keep an eye on it.
Cheers, Mustafa.
Thanks all for the contribution. I made a list (yes, I did!) With the name of all these (including those also found by own research). How were different, I will distribute the task of testing my team also. Have an opinion with so many variables is quite complicated =) Thanks all.
