FreeIPA is a core component. http://www.freeipa.org. The commercial
offering is Enterprise IPA, avail through Red Hat (if you need official
support).
IPA integrates an LDAP server, kerberos, NTP, DNS, and also can act as a
windows domain controller. Not to shabby for single sign on. Oh yeah,
it ships included Fedora 9 ;)
