Mac OS X and Novell eDirectory Integration
Following right on the heals of their article on Linux/eDirectory integration, this week's CoolSolutions has a great story on Mac OS X and eDirectory integration. I've been wanting to give this a try for a while, since we're still about 1/5 Mac.
It's a very in-depth read, and doesn't look like the process has become any simpler since I last looked into it. I've also heard of people hosing their Active Directory setups trying to do the same thing, so it'll have to be done in a test environment first. I think this is a great example of something Novell should include 'out of the box' to really make its software shine. It would be a good reason (at least for me) to stick with eDirectory rather than migrate to AD or a pure Linux LDAP system.
