Some of AD can. You'll need Kerberos, too, if you want to auth
properly, and several other bits and pieces for all the ancillary
things that you might or might not do with AD.

I've not yet seen a compelling description of a completely open source
complete AD replacement, but for a lot of uses much of the MS
infrastructure can be replaced with Free software and integrated
perfectly well into it. Generally you'd still keep at least a DC per
forest on Windows if only for those bits that can't be done easily for
free.
