I got all excited about the V6 LDAP password thing, and then I read the docs... Ugh. So I wanted to see if anyone's doing it, to validate or falsify my conclusion: You can maybe _use_ the active directory database to store your data, but it is explicitly not authenticating admins or nodes "against" AD. It's using LDAP as a general purpose database in which to store facts like password hashes and usernames.
Right? IBM's been talking about authentication exits for TSM since at least 1998. _ANY_ database outside the server is at least a step in the right direction. But oy, and also vey. - Allen S. Rout
