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.

Hello Everyone,
I have enabled LDAP authentication on my Web script by adding the list of valid users in /etc/apach2/default-server.conf. However, I now want to retrieve the username of the person that logs in. How can I do that? Is there any such module?
