Using Notes for User Authentication

Hello,

for an actual project I'm looking for some Information about the 
possibility to use the notes ldap functions for a networkwide 
user-authentication.

Server: SuSE 8.2 with Domino Application Server

Clients: in the moment only Linux Clients (SuSE 8.0 - 8.2 / Debian and 
Redhat 8), in the future maybe windows clients

The solution should:

1.) Authenticate users trustly

2.) Start login scripts (for instance to mount the home-diretorys from a 
fileserver)

3.) Give secure access to some domino-based webapplications (browserbased)

=> If its possible to use the domino-ldap-db to authenticate users, how 
can I implement this in the clients-environment to use this as the 
primary authetication point - to avoite redundant user administration

=> Is it needed to adapt / change the domino server to provide this 
service ?

=> Is it possible to use ssl/tls for a secure connection to the 
autehntication server

=> Is it possible that I andministrate users at one point (domino ldap 
db) and the user can use every enabled machine in the network without 
any local modifications (nt like ...) ?

Ok, these are many questions - if you have some links or 
documantion-tipps for me it where great ...if you had a related project 
in the past and let me participate on your experience it where brilliant 
... ;)

Excuse my bad english ... ;)

Thanks for your effort ...
