 Posted: Mon Apr 23, 2007 8:27 pm Post subject: Syncing a server with Active Directory possible? |
 |
|
My company was recently bought by another company that is very heavily Microsoft. Because of that, all of our users are being moved from LDAP to Active Directory. I've run some tests and I can get all of my Gentoo boxes to authenticate just fine off of AD. The problem is the large number of Sun servers we have onsite, which won't. The needed binaries aren't compiled with the right options and I can't get most of them to compile properly on the servers.
Alternatively, is there a way for me to sync up the AD list with one of my Gentoo servers, then have the Sun boxes authenticate off of that? I know it seems roundabout, but if it's possible it'll save me a lot of time.
Thanks
Mike |

well, if all you need is ldap auth for the sun boxes, couldn't you just run a slapd on a gentoo box and have it replicate from ad?
cheers

That's the kind of thing I'd like to do, but I wasn't sure how to replicate it. Right now I'm using the Winbind method in testing, but I could easily set it up with LDAP. I haven't seen anything on AD replication, though. Or is it automatic?
I've never dealt with any of this before. And, it looks like I'll need to talk to my Windows admins about making some config changes on their servers.
