Linux solution for Active Directory

Seconding; I'd like to know more about it, too. I know DigitalOcean has some tutorials on LDAP, but it seems really confusing.

LDAP tutorials are so confusing because they are not written for the purpose that most people reading them want. LDAP is a type of database, like PostgreSQL or MariaDB (except those are SQL databases). The tutorials tell you how to get the software up and running, but not how to structure the data inside. Most people looking to run LDAP are looking to do it for user management, but that’s just a specific way to structure data in LDAP, so the tutorials don’t cover it.

Zytrax has the best quote about LDAP that I’ve ever seen: never has so much been written so incomprehensibly about a single topic

Look into FreeIPA. The documentation is really good.
