I am preparing to implement either a Windows 2000 or Windows 2003 Server domain with AD for 1000+ people, and we plan to have separate UNIX-based Kerberos and LDAP servers. This is for an MIT independent lab with a very heterogenious environment, so PAM (pluggable authentication modules) for the UNIX clients will not be friendly options. I'm part of the system team. I presume this task has been done in this type of setting, and I'd love to hear feedback from any/all on links, case studies, contact people, etc. The goal will be to set up the Win Server with AD, have Windows clients join as workstations. Then, with accounts and security being shared between the LDAP and Kerberos servers, allow users to log into any workstation of choice (or multiple workstations), do whatever they want - (change passwords, work on research, etc), and have all authentication to/from the Windows clients simply pass through the domain controller, so we don't have to deal with two Kerberos and LDAP environments (one being the independent servers, the other being the domain controller). The ultimate goal will be the ability of users to log into UNIX and Windows workstations alike with the same credentials, and all authentication pointing singly at the LDAP and Kerberos servers only. Thanks for ANY leads. I've got some URLs, but I want as much info as possible, for I'm the key implementor of this for the Microsoft-side :-| Scott
