+-   Directory service implementation from scratch on Thursday June 04 2009, @11:09AM Anonymous Coward

An anonymous reader writes "I work at a small but growing startup company. Currently, our directory and authentication information is scattered across many systems and wikis, and is becoming increasingly difficult to manage. We are looking at centralizing this information in a directory service to minimize administrative overhead as we continue to grow. The service must support basic directory searches, as well as user authentication for Linux and Windows hosts. Although we are primarily a Linux shop, there are a handful of Windows systems that will be on a Windows Active Directory domain. Most directory servers seem to support integration with other directory servers, however it seems like it may be easiest to just use Active Directory for everything. Are there any pitfalls with this approach? If you had the chance to redesign your enterprise directory service without regard for legacy services, how would you do it?"
