If you're already writing your own tools in RoR to update openldap, then I don't think you'll have any issues with AD. Its pretty well documented by MS and easy to make changes. For example we use AD but use exim and cyrus for email. I've extended the schema and wrote tools in python to manipulate user accounts. Then with some search filters exim and cyrus can look up accounts without issue. I think it was http://adldap.sourceforge.net I also used as a references to write some functions quickly. _______________________________________________ Tech mailing list [email protected] https://lists.lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tech This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
