A lot of us actually have experience with OpenLDAP. Now, what are you trying to do with OpenLDAP? If you're looking for an exact clone of all functionalities of Active Directory, you won't find it there. AD is more than just authentication but a series of technologies that also include DNS, security policies, storage appropriation and synchronization. If you feel adventurous, you can cobble up a solution that will use OpenLDAP + a couple more technologies (e.g. CIFS, Kerberos, etc) and scripts. For simple deployments wherein you just need to authenticate (SSO) a couple of Windows and Linux machines though, OpenLDAP + Samba will do. For more complex deployments, there are turn-key solutions available (e.g. Active Directory itself, eDirectory, etc) that will be less of a hassle to build and maintain. -- Paolo Alexis Falcone _________________________________________________ Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List http://lists.linux.org.ph/mailman/listinfo/plug Searchable Archives: http://archives.free.net.ph
