NIS+ solutions ? [was: A question about Auth Backends]

[sdunham]

Active Directory is, but as with all Microsoft things (MS-DNS, etc.), it is
apparently not very compatible with iPlanet (as Microsoft didn't stick to
specs...again).  I have heard that OpenLDAP might work, but we already have
iPlanet and it seemed a waste.  Thanks for any and all input.

Thanks
