Connect via ssh using active directory authentication

I want to connect via SSH that will authenticate via active directory (domain controller). For example my network login in my workstation is user123/123user under a domain. I wanted to use this details to login via ssh. In this way I don't have to add and create username everytime in the server (ie. linux, solaris, redhat)

I believe this can be done by configuring kerberos and external PAM? Pls advise if anyone in here knows the procedure.

thank you for assistance

Well, ssh can definitely use PAM if it is properly configured, and PAM can use external/remote databases like LDAP. So, it is not so much an ssh question as a PAM one. LDAP Authentication HOWTO
