user & passwd synchronisation with ldap-server

[Systeemingenieurs Infoc]

Has anyone written a synchronisation mechanism to synchronise users and their attributes thru an ldap server ?

i know that hp has an ldap-pam, but it does no synchronisation ; it just querries the ldap-server.

Ultimate target goal is to maintain our hosts (unix, nt, oracle, ..) via our mainframe (z/os - acf2).

tia,

Hi,

Aside from PAM-LDAP, the LDAP-UX product includes NSS-LDAP. This allows the HP-UX system to query the LDAP directory whenever account/group or other NIS similar information is required. This avoids elminates the need for synchronization. This might work for you.

There are white papers on the subject. We plan to authenticate most users via a Microsft PDC.

My copy is on paper, but you'll find it with a simple search here.
