Authenticaion Choices

[Chiu, PCM (Peter)]

Good work, Ryan,

May I ask
a. what do you control the access on with OpenLDAP, presumably ssh
sessions, 
NFS and Samba directory sharing?

b. if you have a pointer on how these are set up?

Many thanks.

Peter

We are using OpenLDAP here for authentication.  It works well, and has
never given any problems - no restart, no reboot, etc.  

Adding/Deleting/Updating users is easy.  I'm also a GUI tool to manage
the directory, Directory_Administrator.  I've also written a few perl
scripts to perform simple management tasks as well with openldap.

Ok, thanks for your response, Nabeel,

It appears to me that you are not in favour of AD due to its potential
license costs.

Do I detect your tone that you are in favour of LDAP or OpenLDAP?

Do you mind to say
a. your experience with OpenLDAP serve under RedHat, as a server? b. how
many clients it can serve to a mix environment with RedHat, Suse and XP?

Do you have a pointer for an OpenLDAP example (RedHat server and
client)?

Thanks.

Peter
