Re: Give me some suggestions

LDAP is a great fit for authentication since many products are standardizing
around LDAP for authentication.
However, it's not really a good system to use for accounting.

I'd recommend LDAP for authenication and a RDBMs such as mSQL for your
accounting operations.
If you try to make one of these fit as a solution for both of your problems,
you will be sorry.
