Making Sun LDAP sync with MS Active Directory

My company is currently running MS Active Directory (AD) primarily for
centralized authentication on Windows and some application logins.

On the other side, we have a mixed UNIX environment with Sun, HP-UX, and
Linux servers running Oracle, SAP, and couple of other applications and I
would like to check if it's possible and even a good idea to set up and
configure Sun's LDAP services (SunOne - formerly, iPlanet) on Solaris 10
server, on which LDAP is supposed to be much easier to configure than on
previous Solaris versions, to serve these heterogeneous UNIX platforms,
planning to make it sync up with AD so that users could have a single
password for logging on whether UNIX or Windows.

To those who already attempted and experienced with SunOne LDAP package, is
it practically possible, to begin with, and also worth going toward SunOne
LDAP in an existing AD Windows environment, from the initial configuration
and also on-going maintenance standpoints? How difficult has it been with
your experience?

I'd appreciate your feedback and info!

Thank you in advance.
