Hey,
To solve this problem, you definitely will not be looking at a Microsoft
solution, the best solution I can recommend for you now is to look at
the using NDS e-directory. Now NDS e-directory is a directory service
from Novell (Novell's directory service has been in the market for a
very long time now and it is has a vast variety of capabilities and it
is very rugged) NDS e-directory makes different OSes work together and
everyone has only one username and password, it works with NT W2k,
Linux, Unix etc..... and the beauty of this is that you don't even have
to have a netware box to achieve all this.
If you have any problem with this don't hesitate to let me know.

Database
Microsoft MM3.0 is nearing beta3? i believe that might be a good option
to
try to chase down.
Some of the other Metadirectory vendors have a more mature products and
intefaces with more systems.
Let me know more info.
I have worked in severeal enviroment where we have already done this
albeit
not the microsoft as the
meta directory solution.

Subject: [ActiveDir] Connecting Active Directory to an X.500 Database
Hi,
the CC of my University hired me to connect their w2k-Servers to an
already existing X.500-Database by Syntegra (Ex Control Data) that does
the user management on the UNIX-side.
The final goal would be to make the w2k-servers replicate and distribute
the data in the X.500 so that we can add/remove _really_many_ users on
the UNIX-side, with each of them having only one user name, and maybe
only one password that can be used on the whole campus.
Has anyone attempted to do something like that, or maybe an idea what
could be done to make this work?
Unfortunately, there are no w2k-Experts around, and also there's not
much documentation, and almost none the docu goes further than basic
administration is concerned.
I'd really be grateful for _any_ hints.
Best regards!
Alex
