I have been given the task of integrating Linux (RedHat, Ubuntu, CentOS and Mac OSX) with a Windows Server 2012 A.D.
if anyone has done this before help would be very much appreciated, I have been looking at using either Samba with Win-bind or SSSD, if anyone has tested this please let me know the best and easiest way they have done this successfully whereby utilizing SSSD it picks up GPO.
Currently running SSSD on Centos and RHEL with GFS for authentication against AD without any issues, took a little time to setup. But there were no major gotcha's.
so am I right in saying the following:
You setup the SSSD within centos
have the GFS file system in Rehl
use Windows for Authentication of creating users and use GPO from A.D to restrict users from doing most things?
also do you have a mixture of desktop OS I.E Mac OSX, Windows, Ubuntu?
Our set-up is a bit unusual, we have 2 control nodes, running the GFS software on RHEL (for various reasons we had to back port the GFS code to an older version of RHEL) with 8 other nodes with NFS mounts of the GFS file systems.
These are exported again to a further 8 nodes - all are equal in the cluster.
Our desktop estate covers Windows XP, Windows 7, Mac OS/X and Centos - these authenticate against the active directory and if they login to any of the nodes then SSSD authenticates.
Is there anyone who is utilizing Active Directory (2008R2) for AIX user account management? If yes or if AD is possible with AIX systems, can you please share what to be done to get there?
Please advise. (1 Reply)
