[NTLUG:Discuss] Linux LDAP

[Paul Drew]

Howdy Guys,
I was hoping that some people in this group have already been through some 
of the trials and tribulations involving the rollout of ldap in a linux/unix 
enviroment. I was hoping that I could get some good links, and maybe advice 
on where to start.

It looks like I might be having to take on ldap for linux, unix, mac osx and 
have it work in conjunction with the ldap being used with the pc group in 
our company. My managers are pushing for us to go with Sun One directory 
server, and there seems to be a lot of documentation and support for this 
product. I need all my *nix based operating systems to be compatible with 
it.

What I want to know is what works? What are some pitfalls to be aware of, 
etc. I am quite familiar with Active Directory and the Microsoft way of 
doing things. In fact, I passed all their exams, and got my MCSE which 
focuses alot on it. So I am hoping that the learning curve isn't too great. 
Thanks for any advice you guys might have. Have a great day, and take care.

Paul Drew
