- Thread-topic: authenticate nt domain server vs ldap
I have actually done this, or achieved the same = desire. I have a UNIX based network and
was forced to implement a = Windows 2000 server. I did not have the desire to maintain multiple user accounts so I set off on what appears to be the same quest = you are about to
venture on. The end result was populating the = Active Directory LDAP with ldif exports
from my UNIX system. Then, = because Windows 2000 program for importing data into the
internal LDAP = server will not accept password importation, I installed a little add on package developed by Microsoft called Services for UNIX 2.0. With = this package you can
setup the password synchronization service pam = module. I tried to give you a head start
on this cause I know if I = get off the topic too much Kurt will blow a head gasket and I
will end = up with a "...not on this mail list..." message. If you = want to know more on
this let me know and I'll try to help you if I = can.

I would certainly hope it is. Currenlty we use = NT authentication which has an LDAP
extention, but our system administrators tell me that = this can only be used by
other Microsoft products (IIS) and would require = Active Directory to be set up.
I am a little dubious of this, but would not be = surprised if this is the case.
Therefore I want to replace the NT authentication by = using a more flexable LDAP
service and get all the NT machines to authenticate = against that.
It may involve running a NT domain name controller, = using a samba server. In
theory, this seems like how it would work.....
