The OpenLDAP solution can also support Samba as domain controller, if you have to support windows clients, too. - From that point on we usually integrate other services like an IMAP server (we use Cyrus IMAP), groupware server (we use SOGo) and many other services which suport LDAP authentication. You can apply LDAP password policies, too. We use GOSa (or it's successor FusionDirectory, see https://www.fusiondirectory.org/) as web frontend, so the users can change their passwords, mail settings etc. on their own (if they are given the rights to do so) With all that you get a nice, easy to manage, well integrated and secure network with a central authentication service all with open source software! It should run with almost all modern linux distributions, even mixed together in the same network.
