BBLISA: Win2k Active Directory, Solaris, and LDAP

[Betsy Schwartz]

Is anyone here exploring synchronizing passwords between Active Directory, Solaris, and LDAP?

I found some info on Microsoft's site about syncing Active Directory to NIS,
( http://www.microsoft.com /technet/prodtechnol/windows2000serv/deploy/sfu/psync.asp ) using a PAM from Microsoft. I'd like to find someone who's actually *done* this.

The idea of plugging Microsoft security modules into Solaris just makes me cringe.

And, LDAP is wanted for other reasons, so just using NIS might not be the full solution.
(doesn't matter which LDAP server)

If I understand this correctly, there's no way to get around Active Directory on the Windows side. But I'd like to try to avoid making it the master for the Unix side.

I'm interested in any thoughts or clues on this
(this is all hypothetical right now
