Linux+Windows Single Sign-on

Posted by timothy on from the what-a-concept dept.

musichead writes "Bill Boswell (writing for redmondmag.com) has posted an interesting article on configuring Linux clients to utilize a single sign-on and play nicely in a Microsoft Active Directory network. The article focuses on Fedora Core 2 (and the Core 3 beta), but he has examples and instructions for SuSE Linux 9.1 Professional, Mandrake 10.1 and Xandros Desktop 2.5 on his website."

  1. mit has single sign-on using kerberos by lysander · · Score: 3, Informative

    Not that many sites use kerberos, but mit has had single sign-on with kerberos for quite some time.

    I wonder why the various Linux Vendors have not had some kind of setting during install to allow authentication to an Active Directory.
    I haven't made use of it yet, but during install Suse9.2 gives you the option of pointing the authentication piece to active directory.
