Hi,

Just curious as to how to make Linux authenticate on an Active Directory....

Dependant on the flavour of Linux in use you configure the Kerberos client on the Linux box to use AD as the kerberos realm.

Another option is to create a realm trust between an existing Kerberos (Linux) realm and the AD forest (aka AD realm)

Some good stuff here http://www.microsoft.com/technet/interopmigration/linux.mspx

 

Hi, thanks for the reply... I thought Microsoft used NTLM for authentication???

Is kerberos used also...?!

What else is used!!
