OpenLDAP directory server

• Single source of user information to support unified login

  • Same login and password used for all services

• Remove duplication and the cost of managing multiple sources of user data

• Almost all services are LDAP enabled

  • Mail routing, mailing lists and mail server authentication
  • Extranet and web application authentication
  • Fileserver authentication (Samba, netatalk)
  • Unix account information and group membership permissions

• Equivalent proprietary solutions are expensive (iPlanet)
