Re: OpenLDAP for Central Auth?

Hi,

Has anyone successfully deployed OpenLDAP for central auth in a very mixed unix environment? With Host based access control? Plus any documentation would be really great.

My needs;

• Central Auth
• Host based access control (e.g. user "John" from group "accounts" can't log into "development servers".

• Caching for Client logins on laptops. I figure SSSD will be useful here?

slapo-pcache(5)

• Encryption (This looks pretty straight forward in the OpenLDAP 2.4 doco)

Client OS's involved;

• Solaris 9/10
• Fedora 15/16
• Centos 5/6
