Integrating With Active Directory
One thing that many companies would like to do is to integrate the user credentials of linux box with Active Directory. It is possible to do this, but it is not obvious to do it. I guess MS AD keeps changing the way, the clients speak to AD. They basically do not like non MS clients to authenticate against Active Directory. So any company which wants to have Linux running has to run LDAP or other credential management system for linux users and AD for windows users. It just adds more work and people dont want to maintain two different credential management systems. So they mostly decide on AD and go with MS only infrastructure. Even resources like web servers want to authenticate against AD. I guess the Application server industry also faces the same problem. Hope these things get fixed soon.
