I'm sorry, did you just use "LDAP" and "easy to set up" in the same phrase? I've never seen that before.

:-)) very funny, but if you plan to deploy any kind of directory service, you should expect to jump some hurdles.

But more to the point of the article, I wonder what this is all about, integrating Linux clients in a Windows AD domain has never been difficult thanks to the wonderfull job done by the Samba team, it's the opposite which can lead to all kind of frustrations, trying to get SSO working with Linux Servers, specially when you have a combination of different versions of Windows clients

The only "relatively easy" setup I know is with zimbra with external LDAP, Samba, Kerberos, SASL/GSSAPI , replication, etc.

Once you have all this working, you have a great GUI to administer your clients, of course the setup can be quite challenging and if somebody provided an easier way to deploy that kind of solutions I would be more than willing to pay for it
