They supply the migration tools which OpenLdap endorse. I needed to do a lot 
of hacking on them to get them to fit the pre-cooked schemas on SuSE. YMMV, 
but I'd suggest starting with a blank sheet on the first couple of gos - 
don't expect to get it right first time!

There are several good FOSS tools for managing your installation - I liked 
phpldapadmin and jxplorer.

If you don't want to get your hands too dirty, you might want to take a look 
at GoSA which is a fairly simple but more black-box solution.

Stack your ldap & unix pam auth modules !

There's lots of information out there on how to configure your LDAP server but 
not much on the x500 directory structure - knowing a little about this helps. 
If you don't get anywhere down the LDAP route, try x-refing SSL or OpenMail

(I thought you were going to employ somebody to do all this for you! ;)
