ldap acme authentication for old openvms versions ?
Vax openvms 6.1
Alpha openvms 7.1
For now, impossible to upgrade neither vaxes nor alphas.
I heard (Hoffman Labs) "The first ACME versions and PATHWORKS LANMAN capabilities were latent in OpenVMS Alpha V7.1".
So is it possible to redo some things and have an ldap ahtentication on alpha openvms 7.1 ?

You may fine the Process Software VMS Authentication Module of interest.
http://www.process.com/VMSauth/index.html
On OpenVMS V7.1 you may be able install enough of Advanced Server to get external authentication to a windows domain without an additional licence.

Re: ldap acme authentication for old openvms versions ?
If you wanted to create your own LGI module or to tie into the latent ACME pieces (which were implemented and deployed underneath the LM authentication), you can likely get a recreation of LDAP authentication working as home-grown code; you'll need the authentication model and the LDAP code for OpenVMS. That probably won't be a complete solution, though. And an LGI-based implementation will be missing some pieces.
Here, these LDAP requirements have just opened up the local discussion of migrating to current versions of OpenVMS, migrating to OpenVMS I64 and newer hardware, or migrating off of OpenVMS entirely. This because custom code to get LDAP-based authentication and to tie your OpenVMS Alpha boxes into Mac OS X Server, Linux or Windows to an OpenVMS release back this far is going to be expensive.
Possible? Sure. A partial solution would be a Simple Matter Of Programming. But that programming will be more expensive than an upgrade to current or potentially even a migration over to OpenVMS I64.

Re: ldap acme authentication for old openvms versions ?
It's perhaps possible to move to 8.3-1H1 on itanium, but some certifications troubles could come around, some money to spend, some political decisions to take, and so on.
It's not dream, it's hard life.
Thank you for all your answers.
