>not like i honestly expect anyone on this list to know but I find your lack of faith disturbing... For free? No. I've heard rumors that windows supports Kerberos for authentication, you might want to look in that direction, with some sort of LDAP passthrough. Don't ask me how to do this because I don't know (I've never bothered trying...). My suggestion is to make alternate systems, because odds are, Microsoft is never going to play nice, so setting up an AD tree for the Windows machines, and LDAP for the UNIX and others makes good sense. True, you can't have one universal login for everywhere, but it also has a good side - should there be a way to get your Active Directory GC server to disclose user credentials, you can limit your exposure, as only the users that have accounts on the AD tree will have issues, and even then, only if they keep the passwords in sync. -Paul -----Original Message----- From: RiX Nu¥eN [mailto:thereturn@xxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Thursday, March 28, 2002 1:12 AM To: pen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [pen] LDAP/windows/linux not like i honestly expect anyone on this list to know but does anyone know of a way to get win2k/xp (nt 5.x for those in the know) to authenticate to an LDAP server that isn't being run in a windows (or novell) environment? i'm needing to intergrate mac win2k and linux labs on a college campus i've looked around for stuff but i haven't seen anything for free that is really ready for the load this would have... (ie don't say samba 3.0) also MS doesn't seem to have a NIS client, only servers (funny how that works out...) -RiX _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp.
