Thanks to everyone for the help. I did do a tiny bit of reading on LDAP and do know that Novells NDS is based on that or close to that. And I would assume so would Windows 2000's Active Directory.
Anyone have any idea as to what would be used on the client's side for authentication? Like for Netware you have the Novell Client etc. And if supposed I had Linux on the client side, how would that be authenticated by the LDAP server? Any ideas?
