(Open)LDAP server for cross-platform authentication..

Dear netters,

Are there any tutorial for the following:

1. Setting up LDAP server on Linux for authenticating Linux, Windows XP,
and Solaris users.

2. Setting up the Linux, Windows, and Solaris client to use the above LDAP
server for user login?

3. Use SSL for the above communication for security.

Thanks

Thanks mjt,
I glanced thru the how-to and it's quite extensive. I manage to
install all the require software but having problem configuring the LDAP
server. Those directives is really threw me off. Is there a minumum
configuration just to get the LDAP server running and ready for
authentication?

Thanks
