Read https://wiki.toolserver.org/view/LDAP

I've also started a page at https://wiki.toolserver.org/view/Account_renewal
to document this process. Feel free to update it as necessary.

Huh? No. The password in your .my.cnf file is the password associated with
your MySQL user. LDAP passwords are stored elsewhere and are set using
setpass (see link above).

It might be nice if someone wrote a page at
https://wiki.toolserver.org/view/Authentication explaining SSH keys, LDAP
passwords, MySQL passwords, etc.
