Wallal is a standalone LDAP-to-Web gateway; it allows you to search, add to,
modify and delete from an LDAP database. It was designed with a "personal"
LDAP server in mind (one that is used primarily as a phonebook); however, it
should be reasonably easy to modify it to do more complex operations on a
directory.

Quick instructions to get you up and running:

 1. Install Python with the ldap module. See http://www.python.org/ for
    details.
 2. Edit the wallal.conf file. It should be self-explanatory.
 3. Edit the contents of the templates directory to suit (especially the
    stylesheet location; example style.css included)
 4. run ./wallal
