Is there a method of connecting Active Directory to use OpenLDAP as the authentication source. So pass through to OpenLDAP. Making OpenLDAP the primary system with all the passwords and usernames.
AD is more or less another LDAP service, so I estimate that you are looking for a way to replicate the whole tree or a part of OpenLDAP to Active Directory.
I have never seen that live but I could imagine that the main problem is that you are using a different schema for user management of your applications on OpenLDAP than MS systems are expecting from their AD. So you might need a kind of gateway for this replication, if you don't want to align your software to MS schema. And this must work bidirectional because MS admins probably still want to use their GUI tools for administration.
