We are wanting to use Active Directory as our LDAP server. I know of four different methods that could possibly work. 1. OpenLDAP 2. Radius 3. NIS 4. WinBind / Samba Which is the most excepted/supported way to do this? Several of the severs are very old, 4+ years old. Thanks for any help, --- Chris Edwards
