Hello,
I am in search of a tool to solve a new directory server issue in
relation to Active Directory...
For a long time here at work, we have had LDAP as our authentication
source and nsswitch source for Solaris and Linux. First it was the
Solaris DS, later the 389 DS. When AD came along we started using the
Active Directory sync tool to sync passwords from the AD environment,
but did not try to store all the Posix attributes in AD. This has
worked well.
Recently, our company was bought by another that is implementing AD as
the only allowed authentication source. We will be assimilated.
However, they can't/won't store all the other stuff we need such as
the Ethernet addresses, automount points, etc. They also won't sync
passwords. It looks like we will still need a "real" direstory server.
Does anyone have any ideas how to have two LDAP sources, one used for
authentication and possibly some user attributes, group membership,
etc. (AD) while using another (389?) for the rest of the stuff?
Perhaps a mix of sync and PAM pass through auth. With PAM pass through
auth, you configure a PAM stack to authenticate to AD, then configure
389 PAM passthrough auth to use that PAM stack for authentication.

Is there some sort of frontend proxy that can merge the DITs from two
stores on the backend? I seem to remember reading that the later
versions of the Solaris DS could do something like this.
I don't even know what kind of tool I am asking for or I might be able
to search for it and answer my own question.
Any pointers would be appreciated.
