LDAP

[Darin Perusich]

something that might be useful for the NT domain auth. when the sun one 
directory server 5.2 comes out, this month i believe it will be able to 
sync password back and forth between ldap and active directory. you can 
then setup nsswitch to use file ldap for passwd and group for the unix 
systems and AD for win2k. i'm going to start looking at this over the 
next few monthing, but it sounds like you need this soon.

check out http://www-unix.mcs.anl.gov/~gawor/ldap/ for a nice little 
java tool to manage the directory. i believe it's free to non-commercial 
use, if not it's only $25.00

if you are looking to authenticate your imap server against the NT4 
domain the cyrus imap server can be to authenticate via pam_smp. the 
cyrus SASL supports CRAM-MD5, DIGEST-MD5, KERBEROS_V4, GSSAPI, and PAM. 
i've only set it up using PAM, to hit our NIS tables but i'm sure it 
should be rather easy.

drop me a line if you're looking for more info on this. i know one of 
the cyrus developers, he works for a local company that i've dealt with 
for years. he can answer just about any questions.

we've setup a address book using openldap. it works pretty well, but 
netscape tends to have problems with it. this is well documented at 
openldap.org.
