Alan,
I have Gerald Carters Book - published by O'reilly called "LDAP System 
Administration"
It gives a bit more of the stuff you're looking for as to: why do 
certain things....?
It is openLDAP centric, thus will need to deal with the differences.
I have a plan to get my own LDAP working any day now (have installed 
CentOS DS on two machines - this is straight forward and works as per 
the wiki instructions) but not yet managed to get it playing nice.
HTH
