Another +1 for FreeIPA. It will be very helpful if you're familiar with ssl, ldap, kerberos, osx authentication and account management in the case of needing to troubleshoot. I've migrated a small office (~100 OSX clients) from OpenDirectory to FreeIPA without too many headaches -- accounts wit

+1 for FreeIPA or Red Hat IdM (if you wanted the supported version). If you don't want the full blown IPA product with Kerberos and PKI, you can use the 389 Directory Server. I've found it to have the best multi-master support of any of the options out there. Disclaimer: I do work with with the

I have found the Mac AD client to actually work better with AD than their Apple's own OD client ever did with their own OD servers. Hard to believe, but the simple solution here is really AD. Massive install base, huge user community, and very well documented. I'd take the ms technotes over wadi
