Do you want to use the load balancing support of X2go/LDAP? Or do you  
just want to administrate users in LDAP.

For the latter, I personally recommend setting up your LDAP tree  
manually (there are plenty of howtos in the web for this...). For  
learning LDAP this should be your way to go. Then make sure you can  
use LDAP as libnss and pam source for passwd, group, shadow. At last  
you have to make sure that LDAP users are in the x2gousers group  
(which can be local or also a group in LDAP).

Once you have that, LDAP users can login via X2go.

[Once you have such a simple LDAP DIT up and running you might want to  
start from scratch and set up an LDAP-server that gets administered by  
GOsa² or CIPUX ;-) ...]

If you want to use load balancing with X2go, then this should also be  
possible manually, but basically that's what the scripts were intended  
for (they were also intended for easy LDAP-setup, but you can do this  
manually...). However, to my personal view, the LDAP implementation  
needs quite some work before the Baikal release and also needs proper  
documentation of the way LDAP data is used and interpreted...

Maybe someone else has experience on LDAP/loadbalancing...

Greets,
Mike
