The main aim of this thesis was to show that directories can be a viable tool for managing user accounts and resources in computer networks of academic institutions. Furthermore, criteria for choosing between different directory products are be given and the currently available software packages for Linux are evaluated to these criteria. A special focus is layed on security and authentication mechanisms for LDAP (especially GSSAPI) and the interoperability of Linux/Unix and Windows directory servcies.
