Storing keys on LDAP server?

Hi,

Is it possible to store the keys in authorized_keys file on an LDAP
Directory Server rather than locally in the .ssh subdir under home
directory?
If so, how to go about setting this up?

And pros/cons regarding the method?

Solaris 10/OpenSSH latest, Sun Directory Server....

Thanks,
Jon

I am not sure if you are doing anything specific, but you may want to look at LDAP/Kerberos/SSO.
