kerberos, openssl, openldap and cyrus-sasl

[Prakash Velayutham <prakash.velayutham@cchmc.org>]

Hi All,

I have browsed through the various threads dealing with this topic, but 
can't seem to figure the right order of things. Could someone here help 
me get started?

I need kerberos, openssl, cyrus-sasl and openldap all to be installed 
and configured so that I can have an integrated authentication and 
authorization setup (I also have to include samba in the mix somewhere, 
but that I think can be plugged in later). What kind of data should 
reside in what database and how do I configure the entire network to use 
this security setup (including Windows and Linux systems)?

Thanks in advance,
Prakash
