 This section documents the individual services of the FeministWiki.  They should work regardless of what server they're on.  I.e. every service could in theory be hosted on its own server.
+=== LDAP ===
+Software: OpenLDAP
+The LDAP service contains the central database of FeministWiki members.  The structure looks like this:
+* dc=feministwiki,dc=org
+** ou=members
+*** cn=''username'' <br/> objectClass: inetOrgPerson <br/> cn: ''username'' <br/> uid: ''username'' <br/> sn: - <br/> userPassword: {SSHA}''saltedhash'' <br/> mail: ''username''@feministwiki.org
+*** cn=''username2'' <br/> objectClass: inetOrgPerson <br/> cn: ''username2'' <br/> uid: ''username2'' <br/> sn: - <br/> userPassword: {SSHA}''saltedhash2'' <br/> mail: ''username2''@feministwiki.org <br/> manager: cn=''username'',ou=members,dc=feministwiki,dc=org
+*** ...
+** ou=groups
+*** cn=members <br/> objectClass: groupOfNames <br/> cn: members <br/> member: ''username'' <br/> member: ''username2'' <br/> member: ...
+Notes:
+* The <code>cn</code> (common name) and <code>uid</code> (user ID) fields both contain the username.  This is because some software is preconfigured to look at <code>uid</code>, while most look at <code>cn</code>.
+* The <code>sn</code> (surname) field simply contains a minus character as a placeholder, because it's a mandatory field.
+* The <code>manager</code> field is optional and we use it to record the member who added the member in question.
