I was wondering if the Fedora Directory Server supports Windows clients? I didn't see anything on the site about it. Sorry if it's there and I just missed it.
FDS is an LDAP server : so it supports any LDAP client, which would of course include software running on the Windows OS. But I suspect that isn't your real question. Are you asking if it's possible to use FDS for Microsoft's user and machine authentication mechanisms, as a drop-in replacement for their Active Directory ? If so the answer is no, because those mechanisms use additional protocols beyond standard LDAP. It should be possible to
achieve AD-replacement with the new Samba4 and FDS as a back-end but
AFAIK that project is still in development.
