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
