In terms of getting your data in ... that's up to you in a lot of ways. What data do
you have now? Is it a new environment or do you have an exist IDM service like AD or
FreeIPA you are replacing? More information about your environment  would help me to
advise here.


To use it on your clients is a similar question.

If you have linux/bsd servers, you can consume user/group accounts on those via SSSD, as
well as cool features like SSH public key distribution.

Many webapplications like nextcloud can directly used identities from LDAP too, or you can
consider configuring an SSO provider for OAuth/SAML such as KeyCloak. KeyCloak will use
LDAP as a source of identities, and then web applications authenticate through keycloak.

Hope that helps, and happy to advise more.
