Re: How to install an ldap server to authenticate users in a network
How this is done depends on your distribution.
Red hat has a tool called system-config-authentication that provides a nice GUI to integrate the system into the LDAP central server.
LDAP client is a part of all most distributions. It would be helpful to know which Linux distro you are using to provide better help.

Re: How to install an ldap server to authenticate users in a network
We have a plan of using Red hat linux server as the ldap master.
I don't have much idea whether it will be ok for all flavours to authenticate.

Re: How to install an ldap server to authenticate users in a network
It will work for any linux/unix.
Consider Red Hat or Fedora directory server. Check the documentation available at the red hat page.

Re: How to install an ldap server to authenticate users in a network
We are thinking of using fedora or openldap.
Our network consists of hpunix, solaris, linux and AIX environments.
so i am just checking whether openldap or fedora can be installed on all unix flavours.
Your valuable comments are very helpful to me.
regards,
sanwin.

Re: How to install an ldap server to authenticate users in a network
All of them supports LDAP authentication.
>>> so i am just checking whether openldap or fedora can be installed on all unix flavours.
There you have a problem. You install minimally two LDAP servers with replication on a Linux box, then you configure the other hosts as clients. Each Unix flavor has it's own ldap client. So, you don't need to identify if "openldap or fedora" can be installed on all of them, you just need to know how to enable LDAP client authentication on them.
