Can Windows 2000 and newer authenticate against OpenLDAP?

 

Or is LDAP authentication only possible with Windows versions up to NT?

Not directly natively. There were some hacks around (GINA replacements for Windows IIRC) that allowed this via NS and possibly LDAP.

 

AD integration is nowhere near complete, and would use samba anyway. At present, IMHO, samba/LDAP domain controller is best, but I thnk you came to that conclusion already?

For up to NT, yes I came to the same conclusion. Thanks for answering anyway: it's good news to know that Win2k can authenticate against a "fake-NT" (samba) PDC. Can XP and Win2003 also?
