Likewise Open 5.0.3964 (Default branch)

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.

PDB_ODSAM(8) PDB_ODSAM(8) NAME
pdb_odsam - Open Directory account information database for smbd SYNOPSIS
The pdb_odsam plugin is the default account information database backend used on Mac OS X. It makes users and groups record from Open Directory available to Samba. idmap_odsam should always be used in conjunction with the odsam passdb backend. OPTIONS
odsam: map guest to guest = BOOL If this is true (the default), pdb_odsam map the literal username "guest" to the configured guest account. This makes "guest" an alias for the configured guest account regardless of whether an account named "guest" exists or not. odsam: msglevel = LEVEL LEVEL is the integer log level at which pdb_odsam should emit log messages. The lower LEVEL is, the more verbose the log messages. odsam: traceall = BOOL If this is true, pdb_odsam will emit log messages for all Open Directory calls. If it is false (the default), it will only log errors. EXAMPLES
[global] idmap domain = default idmap config default:default = yes idmap config default:backend = odsam idmap alloc backend = odsam passdb backend = odsam odsam: msglevel = 0 # Log at debugging levels odsam: traceall = no # Do not trace Open Directory calls BUGS
