I want to authenticate Fedora user accounts against active directory accounts, and eventually Samba accounts as well, but first things first. I've done a lot of reading and think I could do it if I was an administrator of the domain controller, but alas, I'm not. The DC's do not have Services for Unix installed, which is the problem I'm running into. The admin's will not install it either. I do have sufficient rights to create machine accounts and join machines to the domain though. I have a Windows Server 2003 machine that is not a DC, but is a member of the domain, that I could install Services for Unix on if that would help.
Basically, is there anyway to authenticate linux user accounts to AD without having Services for Unix installed?
or
authenticate linux user accounts to a Win2003 (non-DC) that authenticates to AD:
FedoraC3-->Win2003-->AD-->Win2003-->FedoraC3?
I hope that is clear enough. Any help you could provide would be appreciated.?.?
