David,

</div>
<div>It really shouldn't matter. Any OS will have the same hiccups. Choose the one that your sysadmins are most comfortable running the IdP with.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>We have extensive documentation on how to integrate the IdP with AD available on the Wiki.</div>

<div>Thanks,</div>
