Likewise Extends Active Directory`s Embrace to Mac and Linux
,----[ Quote ]
| Likewise Enterprise and its open-source sibling, Likewise Open, enable
| administrators to manage Linux, Macintosh and Unix machines through
| Microsoft's Active Directory and Group Policy.
|
| Linux-based operating systems boast some very impressive management features,
| including detailed configuration controls for the GNOME desktop environment
| and a unified software management framework that puts Windows and its horde
| of disparate update applets to shame.

Who says you can't use Active Directory with Linux?
,----[ Quote ]
| Like it or lump it, Microsoft's Active Directory is the heart of many
| corporate networks. That, however, doesn't mean that Linux and Mac systems
| can't work and play with Active Directory. With Samba, they can. And, with
| Likewise, Linux and Mac can work and play well with Active Directory.

Samba's Tridge clusters code and crowds
,----[ Quote ]
| Q: How much will the agreement result in the increased interoperability
| between Windows and Linux/Unix?
|
| tridge: For the sections of the protocols we already implement, Samba already
| has quite good interoperability. Where it will make more of a
| difference is allowing us to expand into new areas where we
| previously lacked features that Windows servers have. For example in
| the area of Active Directory replication, and remote indexing.

Microsoft patches Active Directory flaw
,----[ Quote ]
| The MS07-039 Active Directory update, which is for Windows 2000 Server and
| Windows Server 2003 systems, should be at the top of enterprise IT
| administrators' lists, said Eric Schultze, chief security architect with
| Shavlik Technologies. "That one scares me because those are the crown jewels
| there. And it looks like you're caught with your pants down at the moment."
|
| [...]
|
| The flaw deals with the way Active Directory processes LDAP client requests.
| Attackers could create a malicious LDAP request that would then allow them
| to "take complete control of an affected system," Microsoft warned in its
| advisory on the flaw.

Can Linux Desktops Live in an Active Directory World?
,----[ Quote ]
| Here's the short list of what they made accomplished, all with no
| configuration changes required to the Active Directory system:
|
| * Linux desktops can join Active Directory, becoming actual
| objects within an Active Directory domain (as workstation objects)
|
| * Users can authenticate using their Active Directory credentials
|
| * Proper interfaces present to the user according to Active Directory
| password policy (such as password has expired, do you want to change, and
| failed attempt due to login time restrictions)
|
| * Account credentials are securely cached for offline use (ar
| equirement for mobile users)
|
| * Active Directory-based single sign-on works (Kerberos tickets
| are requested, renewed and refreshed automatically)
