We're a software house developing software that needs to authenticate
against LDAP and LDAPS, which are authentication protocols. We can
write the software, but our LDAP expertise is limited, and we're
looking for an external consultant who could set up an LDAPS and LDAP
server for us using the Sun iPlanet directory server. We'd provide
them a PC, and we'd want it back with a directory server set up on it,
with maybe 50 names or so. We'd strongly prefer a consultant in the
UK, as we need the server in the UK. Can you find us a few people to
contact who might be able to do this at a reasonable price?

I do know one but not in UK but in US who could take up the project immediately.
I am sure that with a little local assistance, it could be done remotely.  Let
me know if you would like to know more details.
    PS: The consultant I know has extensive experience working with LDAP and
iPlanet directory servers and an expert in security infrastructure such as PKI
etc.
