Hi,
I have been asked to setup Solaris 8 client with the LDAP with Win
2K ( I told it comes with ADS ).
Upon reading the PDF about LDAP on Solaris I found out that a
profile is required to be setup on the LDAP server side for this to
work. Can anyone with prior experience on this tell me if I am on the
right path and if there is anything more I would need to get this to
work ?
All I want is a common database of useraccounts/password for the
entire organization of around 1200 users.

Thanks,
Kevin.

Could be worth you getting Sun's book on the topic.

If that many users are relying on this service, I'd be
inclined to use a reliable server. I'd use a Solaris
LDAP server.

Rich,
I know that the way the password is stored is an issue, crypt is used
under Solaris Directory server for userPassoword attribute vs. Updating
Active Directory password, by creating Unicode password and updating
unicodePwd attribute.

I am just starting to look into this.

Thanks!
John
