Active Directory Integration Index

Haver you ever tried AD with AIX?

Thanks, Clif

Scott;

I currently use NIS and I need to get my Solaris 8, 9 &10 machines to use AD for at least passwd, netgroup, group and my various automounter maps. At some point I would like to integrate my entire set of NIS maps, but the ones mentioned above are the most important.

I’ve seen, but have not tested, articles on setting up Solaris 9 and 10, but none for 8. My understanding of how PAM works is very limited, and I understand that PAM would play a major role here.

Can you, or someone else reading this, recommend what steps and software I would need to do this? Ideally, I would be talking to my AD server in using either SSL or like crypto solution.

Many thanks,

PS: I’ve looked at winbind and found that it would not work for ssh auth.

Wondering if anyone has run across either articles on integrating AD with a java app server (such as BEA’s WebLogic Server) via SPNEGO, or articles troubleshooting AD to non-MS application servers. I’ve got most of it worked out, but having issues with certain user IDs in AD not authenticating properly, even from the same client machine.

Thanks!

I am looking for a setup as follow:

DNS - Runs on Linux
ADS - Windows 2000 or Windows 2003 - Pointing to Linux DNS (BIND 9)
Radius Authentication for Admins to access PIX and other network resources including Servers

- Could you please, guide me, if you have any resources.

Many thanks,

We’re having some real goofy experiences with the Unix Identity Management components of R2 within our network…

Situation: we’re running an SBS 2003 R2 domain with a member server (also a DC) that is Server 2003 x64 R2. The member server has Unix Id Management installed on it. Also installed on the primary DC (ie: SBS server) is the IDMU.EXE as described in ( http://support.microsoft.com/kb/921913 ) to ensure all the properties tabs are there (they are).

When we query the 2003 ldap database for unix attributes, they can only be seen if the user whose attributes we want to access is the one accessing LDAP, for example on the “Unix Attributes” tab we have setup information for home directories, uid, etc… on a user called test. If we use a LDAP browser and bind using the test user we can see the attributes, but if we bind using a generic user (as anticipated in just about every how-to we’ve come across), the unix attributes cannot be seen.

All of the recommendations for accessing unix attributes through LDAP, create a proxy user to access the attributes for authorization purposes, but if this proxy user cannot see the attributes, then obviously something is not working.

Any insight on how the permissions are supposed to be setup within AD to ensure LDAP bindings are successful??

Thanks!

I previously had an apache server configured to authenticate against AD using a service account. Everything worked fine, until the primary DC tanked one day. The failover did not work and when the primary DC was brought up, the ldap auth did not work any more. Upon investigation, the SPN (as viewed in adsiedit.msc had duplicate entries, so I deleted them, thinking that ktpass would regenerate the mapping. HOWEVER:

ktpass.exe -princ boxname.domain.com@DOMAIN.COM -mapus
er service.svc -crypto des-cbc-md5 +DesOnly -pass password -kvno 19 -ptype KRB5_NT_PRINCIPAL -out keytab.keytab

If service.svc already has an SPN mapping installed for boxname.domain.com, this is no cause for concern.

so, question: what is my best course of action from this point?

thanks
