Main Page
From InteropWiki
This wiki is Michael Schurter's personal scratchpad for recording his progress with Windows-Linux Interop.
The intended audience for this site is system and network administrators who are already somewhat comfortable with Linux. I am not wasting my time with line-by-line commands for common tasks like package installation!
[edit]
Goals
- Authenticate users logging into Linux (system-wide) against Active Directory usernames & passwords - done
- Automatically create home directories in Linux for Active Directory users (like Profiles in Windows) - done
- Use proper Active Directory Groups for Users in Linux - done
- Authenticate from Linux to other network services (shares, printers, etc.) using Active Directory/Kerberos - done
- Authenticate from Windows to Linux Samba shares/printers using Kerberos (no login prompt) - ?
[edit]
Not Goals
These are features which other people commonly want but are not a priority for me.
- Change passwords, groups, or other Active Directory data from Linux
- Recursive Active Directory Group resolution (?)
- Samba as a ADS (Active Directory Server), PDC (Primary Domain Controller), BDC (Backup Domain Controller)
