Ok, thanks for your response, Nabeel, It appears to me that you are not in favour of AD due to its potential license costs.
It isn't exactly about license costs, you will be forced to go for microsoft products one after the other once you have Active Directory installed .But its ease of use is better than all others.But in your case since your majority clients are on linux , I would suggest you to go for LDAP. http://directory.fedora.redhat.com/wiki/Howto:Samba is an useful link for configuring Samba with LDAP backend.Your windows clients can authenticate through Samba . Do I detect your tone that you are in favour of LDAP or OpenLDAP? OpenLDAP is probably the best LDAP server around ,although I don't have much experience working on it , but setup and customization would be easier in Fedora Directory Server , and in case you have any issues you can post your queries to Fedora-directory-users @redhat.com In fact both these projects can be traced back to common roots. Do you mind to say
a. your experience with OpenLDAP serve under RedHat, as a server?
I have used only Fedora Directory Server in production .But I know many large scale installations of both FDS and OpenLDAP. b. how many clients it can serve to a mix environment with RedHat, Suse
and XP? Do you have a pointer for an OpenLDAP example (RedHat server and client)? Thanks. Peter -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
