Sync passwords from FDS to AD

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,

our FDS contains a NIS-like structure of user accounts, Unix groups, netgroups, mail aliases and sudoers entries. We manage everything in Unix/Linux, using command-line tools and web pages that update the FDS and NIS database files (generated from the LDAP server). We are not ready to abandon NIS yet, hence this integration between LDAP and NIS.

We also use Active Directory, which has identical users and their passwords in the AD format (I don't know what it is yet). Our problem is that the users need to update the passwords twice, first in Linux/Unix and then in Windows. This is a slight hassle for the users that we'd like to remove. Also when a new account is created, it is first created in Unix/Linux and then in Windows.

I read about the WindowsSync and PassSync, but I'm bit hesitant to add all the "nt*" attributes to our schema, because all we want is to syncronize the user names and passwords from FDS to AD. The passwords are stored in {crypt} format in FDS. Any ideas how this could be done? Should I add another attribute for the AD password?

Thank you,
Ville
