We're using the IDsentrie from A10 (ww.a10networks.com). It manages
multiple directories, etc.

For new students, we set their passwords in eDirectory, which applies to
on-campus file shares, but not to their new email account. This forces
them to go to the IDsentrie to create their recovery Q&A and reset their
passwords - that then populates LDAP and GMail for them and they're in.
