Hello fellows,
We have a very heterogen environment with NT/W2K-workstations
DU/Tru64/ultrix/Solaris/Linux/HP-UX -servers and I have tried
to make these work together.
With samba and NT-domain authentications I can make the
filesharing possible and it works very well.
But the problem still is, that the users still have to
change the passwords on two different places if they
need to logon on the unix-machines.
We use nis for now on all the unix-machines, but everything
else uses NT-domains (NT/W2k-logins and samba-shares).
I have now installed a testmachine with Advanced Server on
a Tru64 5.0A box (Dec3000, yeah slow like hell, but this is
only for testing purpose).
I did browse the documentation for ASU, but before I dig
deeper I would like to ask some questions.
If I make this ASU-server a Backup Domain Controller and
a NIS-master-server, will it be possible to logon on the
other unix-machines using nis which will authenticate
against the ASU-server which will use the NT-domain
logon athentications?
If I understand correctly, this would at least be possible,
if I could make this ASU-server a PDC, but this is not an option.
But if I can't make this with the ASU-server as a BDC, is
it possible to make some kind of automatic synchronization
where the password is always changed on "the other side"
when you change it on the other side. eg. if i use yppasswd
to change the pasword on unix, then it would also be changed
on the NT-domain-side and vice versa?
And of course if user adding and similar also would be
possible to synchronize then it would be even better, but
my main concern is the passord changing, which affects the
user.
