Hey Neal-

Sounds like a pretty significant task IMO and not a lot of time.

I wouldn't even know where to begin to advice you and you didn't even
mention what distribution you're running?

Guess it doesn't really matter and I don't have much for you other than
suggesting looking into distributions that serve just the directory
services space.

There's a few of them that offer a lot of the services out of the box, I
looked into this myself a while back. If it is work related they may not
even let you install FOSS without some type of approval.

Anyhow, my google searching skills are lacking right now and the only
example I could come up is: https://www.turnkeylinux.org/openldap

Sounds like this is what you need. I am sure you'll get some type of
response with other perhaps better suggestions.

Good luck!

SDA
