GUI tool to configure ldap client

I am using this wiki to configure LDAP client in Ubuntu. Now i am looking for a GUI tool to configure LDAP client in Ubuntu. Because my colleagues( They don't have much technical knowledge) often complains that configuring LDAP client in ubuntu is little difficult. Is there any simple GUI tool for this?.


There is the LDAP Administration Tool Install lat, available from the repositories.

There is also the GQ LDAP Client Install gq, but it's a bit older and (I'm going to be blunt) not as good. :)


phpLDAPadmin (also known as PLA) is a web-based LDAP client. It provides easy, anywhere-

accessible, multi-language administration for your LDAP server.

Its hierarchical tree-viewer and advanced search functionality make it intuitive to browse

and administer your LDAP directory. Since it is a web application, this LDAP browser

works on many platforms, making your LDAP server easily manageable from any location.
