Many thanks to the following Jed Dobson Lee Trujillo Todd Wilkinson I received a lot of solid replies to my question with the consensus being that Sun's directory server, especially 5.1 bundled with Solaris9, is the choice for user authentication. The primary reason being ease of implementation in simple authentication scenarios. Some testing will be required, but it appears the 8 character limit can also be bypassed using LDAP. Thanks again! -----Original Message----- From: Fisher, Myke [mailto:mfisher@ip.net] Sent: Tuesday, August 27, 2002 2:02 PM To: Sunmanagers (E-mail) Subject: LDAP user authentication Hello Sunmanagers, I wanted to see who among you have successfully implemented LDAP for user login authentication. Out of those, did anyone use the SunONE DIrectory Server 5.1? Is OpenLDAP easier to implement? Can using LDAP serve as a workaround for the 8 character limit on login IDs?
