[Charlug] Active Directory authentication for UNIX/Linux

[Don Hardy]

Mark, 

The open source active directory client that I was referring to during yesterday's meeting is offered by Likewise (http://likewisesoftware.com/open_community/index.php). Here's a good article on Likewise's open source active directory client http://www.linux-watch.com/news/NS2350659361.html

There are two other clients that I'm aware of; one being Centrify's product (http://www.centrify.com/solutions/unix-linux-identity-management.asp) and the other is Quest's product formerly known as Vintela (http://www.quest.com/Authentication-Services).  My company recently migrated off of NIS to Vintela for many of our AIX, Linux, and Solaris servers.
