[Fedora-directory-users] AD synchronization questions

[Aly Dharshi]

Why not just use pGINA (http://pgina.xpasystems.com/) and get rid of worrying 
about ADS. See http://pgina.xpasystems.com/ this way you can get Windows boxes 
to authenticate directly against an LDAP server with little or no work. Its LDAP 
V3 compliant and shourl work with LDAP v2. I know it may not be what you are 
looking for but I thought that I would suggest it anyways.

HTH.

Cheers,

Aly.
