Likewise Open is an application that joins Linux,Unix, and Mac OS machines to Microsoft ActiveDirectory and securely authenticates users withtheir domain credentials. Features include:joining non-Windows systems to Active Directorydomains in a single step from the command line orfrom a GUI; authenticating users with a singleuser name and password; enforcing the samepassword policies for all platforms; supportingmultiple forests with one-way and two-way crossforest trusts; caching credentials in case yourdomain controller goes down; and providing singlesign-on for SSH and Putty. It does not requireActive Directory schema changes for installation.License: GNU General Public License v2Changes:
Improved performance. When a duplicate UID is found, it will go to AD to get info on a user rather than updating the cache. When a bad username/password is given to domainjoin, it will report "password is incorrect for this account" instead of "call to krb5 failed." Unix attributes from AD are no longer ignored in the default cell.
