Well, Novell eDirectory (NDS) is here:

  http://www.novell.com/products/edirectory

and as for the system requirements:

  http://www.novell.com/products/edirectory/sysreqs.html

it runs on NetWare, WinNT, Win2000, Linux, Solaris and AIX - but not
on WinXP or Win9x.

As a developer you can even get and supply it for free, though
somewhat crippled as the user count is limited to 250.000:

By the way, the 5-user NetWare Small Business Server package is also
available for free through most dealers. We use that with great
success for small installations; get a low spec. discounted but brand
new HP entry level server, and you are off.
