I have not really followed the thread - but to cut to the chase (for me
at least) is your ldap server working as in; Windows AD is doing a one
way sync to your ldap server?
I don't think you can do that with the openldap shipped with the disto,
but it is possible with Fedora Directory Server.
To me - this is the most important piece of the puzzle. I have tried
about a year ago to setup an OS ldap server in our AD domain, but was
never able to either find docs on the above, or figure it out.
I tallied it up to the fact that I'm too new to Linux to have gotten it
to work - then again, many users I come across have wanted to do what I
want to do - simply, have AD do a one way sync to my ldap server,
period.
Thoughts?
There is a simpler but less functional way to use AD or windows domain
passwords. Just enable 'smb' authentication and configure the domain as
the 'workgroup' and provide the server(s) to check. You still need to
add users to your Linux box(es) but you don't have to set up or maintain
passwords.
