[SLUG] LDAP Gurus
Any LDAP gurus here ? I'm looking at replacing an $80k/year Novell eDirectory server on Win2K with LDAP on Linux and I want to see if there are any major problems with this idea. Jon -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
Re: [SLUG] LDAP Gurus
Hi Jon Depends on how you are going to do this. If you are going to have LDAP being the central database for authenticating w2k users you may need to install on w2k some unix tools supplied by microsoft. As far as I know there are no microsoft schema's available for openldap, I think there are some sites that talk about having openldap working with W2k do a search my memory is a little rusty on how we completed openldap and w2k at citistreet.

RE: [SLUG] LDAP Gurus
Ideally, I'd like to dump the Windows side of things alltogether - they are using a VERY minimal part of eDirectory for authentication and nothing more... $80k/.year is WAY too much for what they are doing. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Kevin Saenz Sent: Wednesday, 19 March 2003 14:42 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [SLUG] LDAP Gurus Hi Jon Depends on how you are going to do this.

No experience with eDirectory, which is where the problems will lie. Is it a standards-compliant LDAP directory, or is it (like Active Directory) LDAP with extensions? What sort of authentication does it like to use? Are all of the objectclass and attribute definitions that eDirectory stores (and, by extension, what the clients will want) publically available? That's the first round of things to consider, and the main conversion killers. If things go well there, then I'd say it should be fine to put in a test server in the target environment, with some test data, to point a few clients at and do some initial performance and interoperability tests. -- --- #include disclaimer.h Matthew Palmer, Geek In Residence http://ieee.uow.edu.au/~mjp16 -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
