Not sure what you mean by u2 aware.  Do you mean the credentials are stored
in u2 and the validation routine has to be able to talk to u2 to validate,
or do you mean u2 has to be able to call out to the check credentials given
various parameters and get identity and access information?

openldap.  Industrial strength and you also get replication and fail-over
out of the box.  If you need your central sign-on credentials to be on a
windows AD then ldap can pass userid/password pairs off to AD for
verification and can also support multiple AD domains etc.

Not sure how to best call out from u2 to ldap - callc or uv equivalent
possibly?  Sadly AFAIK u2 _still_ doesn't have the much discussed callJava
functionality.
