Re: Using Penrose (or similar software) to solve our LDAP needs

I'm sure this could be done, but due to policies within our organization we
need to set up our "own" LDAP server.

Thank you for your reply.

We thought about adding posix attributes (and other relevant attributes)
on
the AD side so that everything could be controlled from AD. This would
greatly reduce our workload, as user administration on linux could be
carried out by existing windows user administration personell. But
syncing
such attributes, however, doesn't seem to be supported by Windows Sync,
so

It is possible, and not too difficult, to directly use the AD from linux
without
replication or similar things. Have a look at
