[Fedora-directory-users] fedora directory and active directory

[William Francis <wfrancis anticlockwise com>]

I'm embarking on a project at my company to sync the two together. It's 
not important for me that fedora directory updates (passwords, etc) make 
it back to the active directory server, so I'd hope that the setup would 
be fairly straight forward.

It seems like this would be a common/useful way to use FDS and beyond 
setting it up myself I'm interested in writing a HOWTO so that others 
can do this easily without indepth knowledge of FDS or LDAP.

I do, however, lack this knowledge myself. Can someone provide a high 
level overview of what's needed to make this happen? I can fill in 
details myself as I have many years of UNIX, but reading through the 
online manual for most of the day it's not obvious to me how much setup 
needs to be done beyond the chapter specifically about syncing with 
active directory.

Is anyone aware of any resources or willing to provide some guidance on 
how to make this happen?

Thanks, and I promise at least a rough HOWTO out of this effort.

Will
