Hello,
I am in search of a tool to solve a new directory
server issue in relation to Active Directory...
For a long time here at work, we have had LDAP as our
authentication source and nsswitch source for Solaris
and Linux. First it was the Solaris DS, later the 389
DS. When AD came along we started using the Active
Directory sync tool to sync passwords from the AD
environment, but did not try to store all the Posix
attributes in AD. This has worked well.
Recently, our company was bought by another that is
implementing AD as the only allowed authentication
source. We will be assimilated. However, they
can't/won't store all the other stuff we need such as the
Ethernet addresses, automount points, etc. They also
won't sync passwords. It looks like we will still need a
"real" direstory server.
Does anyone have any ideas how to have two LDAP sources, one
used for authentication and possibly some user attributes,
group membership, etc. (AD) while using another (389?) for
the rest of the stuff?
