Not to mention that, although z/OS does support LDAP and Kerberos, it does not support Windows Active Directory protocols. The mere fact that said protocol is both unsupported, proprietary, and "fluid" (as most MS protocols are) is not germane to the discussion (to them). The only solution that I can think of for this is a product which in the data base world would be called "bidirectional replication". -- Heisenberg may have been here.
