Thanks Dave and all for the quick response. I thought this was false but I wanted to be sure!

No, your z/OS person is mistaken. You can still run LDAP on zLinux to do your authentication. What the z/OS person might be referring to is that if you choose to run the z/VM supplied LDAP server, it can use zVM's RACF to store Linux user ids and passwords. Martin, Terry R.
