Deploying and Maintaining an Enterprise OpenLDAP Directory

I have had the opportunity to deploy LDAP directories and consistent sign-on to small startups where very little infrastructure was in place, and management embraced open software. The technical and idealogical barriers are much larger when deploying these same concepts within a large corporation, with existing data tied up in legacy systems, and management that is leery of 'free' software.
