Fwd: Authenticate Linux Clients with Active Directory (Technet)

This looks like a good article - haven't worked through all the details but looks useful. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: imcdnzl <ian.mcdonald(a)jandi.co.nz> Date: Sat, Nov 15, 2008 at 11:13 AM Subject: Authenticate Linux Clients with Active Directory (Technet) To: ian.mcdonald(a)jandi.co.nz, ian.mcdonald(a)datacom.co.nz Sent to you by imcdnzl via Google Reader: Authenticate Linux Clients with Active Directory (Technet)<http://lwn.net/Articles/307261/rss> via LWN.net <http://lwn.net> by ris on 11/14/08 Microsoft's Technet Magazine has a lengthy article<http://technet.microsoft.com/en-au/magazine/dd228986.aspx>on authenticating Linux clients with Active Directory. "Originally, Linux (and the GNU tools and libraries that run on it) was not built with a single authentication mechanism in mind. As a result of this, Linux application developers generally took to creating their own authentication scheme. They managed to accomplish this by either looking up names and password hashes in /etc/passwd (the traditional text file containing Linux user credentials) or providing an entirely different (and separate) mechanism."
