Microsoft unbundles 'Active Directory' | |
|
||
| Time: 18:08 EST/23:08 GMT | News Source: ZDNet | Posted By: Byron Hinson | ||

Microsoft will begin selling its directory technology as a standalone product separate from the Windows operating system. Microsoft will continue to build in its "Active Directory" as part of Windows, but will give its customers the new option of buying the technology as a separate product next year, Microsoft executives said this week. The directory technology essentially provides a network manager with a central database to store and manage information about users, computer systems and networking devices. Microsoft competes against Novell and Sun Microsystems in the directory-server software market. | ||

gcc, yeah right... :)
My guess is that it will run on Win 2000. I can see where people deploying web sites and services would like the power of LDAP, er AD, for authentication and authorization information. However, they likely don't want to have to setup a domain infrastructure outside their firewall to support this. The question does come into play as to how much will it cost, how will it integrate into existing authentication mechanisms in .Net and IIS, and so forth. |
