I've been asked to research the various options for Directory Services for
Linux. The likely environment will be SLES and the requirements are not
terribly complex. At this point the main interest is in doing account and
password management in a single place, supporting the particular rules we
need to meet NERC compliance. And since it is a compliance issue, getting
something from a vendor has advantages over rolling our own internally.
Searching for SLES Directory Services led me to the Novell eDirectory web
page that actually links to documentation on the NetIQ wedsite. They are
all owned by The Attachmate Group, but that particular structure doesn't
give me much confidence. In addition, the software provides lots and lots
of enterprise scale functionality and supports lots of platforms. It's
probably a lot more complex and expensive than we need to solve out
current requirements.
Rolling our own with OpenLDAP could do the job, but there is a bit of
reluctance to do that because of compliance issues.
Any suggestions?

It's not what I know that counts.
It's what I can remember in time to use.
