If they won't let you use open-source tools, then the answer is definitely "yes". (Perl is open-source.) And migrating from a relational database to LDAP might not be as obvious as... oh well. Anyway, if you can't get them to listen to reason, there's an NSAPI module on CPAN: http://search.cpan.org/author/BSUGARS/nsapi_perl-0.24/ But it's dated 1998, and iplanet is multi-threaded. And of course, the module is open-source as well. -- Steve
