Authenticating users to ADS

It is possible to authenticate AIX-users to the Windows 2003 Active Directory.
But is it also possible to do full useradministration in the ADS without also adding users to the local AIX-server?

I have the following working:
1. Add user to the ADS
2. Add user to AIX with 'mkuser registry=KRB5Afiles SYSTEM=KRB5Afiles <username>'
3. Now the password for <username> is being checked against the ADS

But I want the full useradministration in the ADS (username, password, primary group, other groups, which shell to start) without adding the user to the local AIX server. Is that possible?

Win 2003 AD is pretty much an LDAP server that you can use Pam_ldap or openldap tools with. As far as AD/LDAP maintenance tools, there are some open ones in Java, and PHP based ones also.

Centrify Directcontrol might meet your needs. See Centrify DirectControl Suite Overview for details.

I tried to go that direction and got stopped at Informix. I learned that I had to rewrite all of my Informix applications to support pam.
