OpenLDAP with Linux and Windows  Using LDAP to manage user
authentication in computer labs at the University of Verona.
The "Students" Project at the University of Verona is based on
OpenLDAP (it's an open-source implementation of LDAP) for
managing the centralized authentication of both Windows and
Linux laboratories, as well as mail accounts for professors and
students from all departments (use of Qmail, Courier and Imp).
The "Students" server manages five laboratories: the alpha
laboratory (only Linux workstations), the beta laboratory (only
Linux workstations), the gamma laboratory (only Windows 2000
workstations), the delta laboratory (Linux and Windows 2000
system, workstations have two different boots) and the tesi
laboratory (only Linux workstations).  Two different problems
emerged: 1) how do we create a database that allows access to
PCs with the Linux OS rather than to PCs with the Windows OS?
and 2) how do we allow the correlation between a single server
and PCs with both Linux and Windows system
