Shalom,

You have the option of using OpenLDAP as well. It has been ported by HP to HP-UX.

Its available as port of the Internet Express package.

Search for Internet Express

Either tool will get the job done.

Yes, you also can get the HP-UX ports of both the former Netscape Directory Server as well as the RedHat Directory server,
where the latter is based on the sources of the first.
RedHat have acquired the sources and claim to have revised and to further keep maintaining them.
Documentation is excessive and almost identical for both (apart from the RedHat Logo).
Also configuration and administration tools are very similar.
The nice thing with the RHDS is that you can get it for Fedora and RHEL as well for free,
so that you don't need a HP-UX system to get aquainted with RHDS.
I think as far as you don't service clients over the Internet you are allowed to run the DS withouth license fees.
But make sure to read the license agreement before planning to use it in production.
ADS integration is also claimed to work,
so that you theoretically should be able to authenticate Unix clients against an AD.
But I have only seen sample configs in the docs, and heared by rumour that in practise this still is extremely fumbly.
Have a look at HP's software download site for a depot.

RHDS integration with Windows works via synchronization; the users and groups exist on both sides and updates on either side are synchronized to the other.
