I think we've talked about this before. None of commercially available 
ESMs do that, and the only way to implement such a capability is via the 
ESM interfaces.

But when I dig further, what I really find is that they want the same 
password in AD as on z/VM.  So then I suggest IBM Tivoli Directory 
Integrator and RACF.  Using LDAP, it will synchronize the AD and RACF 
password.

If you want "free" then you have to write your own ESM.  That isn't, of 
course, "free" by any stretch of the imagination!
