I've not really dealt with LDAP much but for the application I'm writing
it will need to act as an Active Directory Server at some stage in the
future. We have our own database of people and when we set login='Yes'
we need to create the user account and apparently a heap of other stuff
such that people using Windows workstations can now login to the domain,
email, proxy, ... etc with those credentials. I have it already doing
the standard unix login with no LDAP. ie /etc/passwd, /etc/group,
/etc/shadow.
I appreciate that this is a LOT of stuff and there is the possibility of
payment to get this done. Haven't run it by the boss yet but from a time
perspective it would take me far too long.
What I really need to know sooner rather than later is what data I need
to store in our postgresql database. IE what the LDAP schema is. We can
work out the other bits later.
I have done a little research and am now more confused than ever..
Like, I started here...

Also would be interested in finding other products (open or not) that do
this running on Ubuntu Hardy preferably.
