UNIX authentication strategy - LDAP or AD
We are looking at using Tivoli Directory Server (LDAP) or Active Directory 2003 for authentication. I wanted to get some feedback from the community. Our goal is to do it the simplest, easiest, and cheapest way that allows for centralized user authentication. We are mainly an AIX environment with some Red Hat and Suze mixed in.

All advice greatly appreciated.

net::ldapi

Net::LDAPI(3)						User Contributed Perl Documentation					     Net::LDAPI(3)

NAME

       Net::LDAPI - use LDAP over a UNIX domain socket

SYNOPSIS

	use Net::LDAPI;

	$ldapi = Net::LDAPI->new('/var/run/ldapi');

	# alternate way
	use Net::LDAP;

	$ldapi = Net::LDAP->new('ldapi://');

DESCRIPTION

       Communicate using the LDAP protocol to a directory server using a UNIX domain socket. This mechanism is non-standard, UNIX-specific and not
       widely supported.

       All the normal "Net::LDAP" methods can be used with a "Net::LDAPI" object; see Net::LDAP for details.

CONSTRUCTOR

       new ( [SOCKPATH] )
	   Create a new connection. SOCKPATH can optionally be specified, to specify the location of the UNIX domain socket to connect to.

	   If SOCKPATH is not given, the environment variable "LDAPI_SOCK" is evaluated, and if that does not exist, the value "/var/run/ldapi" is
	   used.

	   See "new" in Net::LDAP for further details.

SEE ALSO

       Net::LDAP, IO::Socket::UNIX
