[CFT] ypldap testing against OpenLDAP and Microsoft Active Directory

Hi,

I have worked with Marcelo Araujo to port OpenBSD's ypldap to FreeBSD
current.

In latest current, it should be possible to put in /etc/rc.conf:

nis_ypldap_enable="YES"
to activate the ypldap daemon.

When set up properly, it should be possible to log into FreeBSD, and have
the backend password database come from an LDAP database such
as OpenLDAP

There is some documentation for setting this up, but it is OpenBSD specific:

http://obfuscurity.com/2009/08/OpenBSD-as-an-LDAP-Client
http://puffysecurity.com/wiki/ypldap.html#2

I did not bother porting the OpenBSD LDAP server to FreeBSD, so that
information
does not apply.  I figure that openldap from ports should work fine.

I was wondering if there is someone out there familiar enough with LDAP
and has a setup they can test this stuff out with, provide feedback, and
help
improve the documentation for FreeBSD?

I would also be interested in hearing from someone who can see if
ypldap can work against a Microsoft Active Directory setup?

Thanks.
