[NBLUG/talk] Linux and LDAP

[Michael Lane]

SAMBA (and Winbind) is your answer!

http://us1.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/winbind.html

Excerpt:

Since late 2001, Samba has gained the ability to interact with Microsoft
Windows 2000 using its "Native Mode" protocols, rather than the NT4 RPC
services. Using LDAP and Kerberos, a Domain Member running Winbind can
enumerate users and groups in exactly the same way as a Windows 200x client
would, and in so doing provide a much more efficient and effective Winbind
implementation.

P.S. Currently running Samba 3.0.7 on a RedHatES server and setup took 20
minutes.

Subject: [NBLUG/talk] Linux and LDAP

I want to setup a linux box that will authenticate off of an active
directory server, I believe what I need is LDAP.  I am totaly
unfamilier with ldap, so I am looking for a LDAP/Active Directory
howto, one that lets the linux box act as a client, NOT a server.  I
just want it for authentication so people can log into my linux box
using their active direction account and password.

Anyone have any good resources on how to do this in fedora?
