This guide provides prescriptive guidance on enabling Microsoft® Windows Server™ 2003 to be used for authentication and as an identity store within heterogeneous Microsoft Windows® and UNIX environments. Windows uses the standards-based security and directory services provided by LDAP and Kerberos to provide secure and single sign-on capabilities between Windows, UNIX, and Linux systems.
The guidance covers evaluating, planning, building, deploying, and operating a security and directory infrastructure based on Windows Server 2003. It includes configuring both the Windows and UNIX/Linux settings and configuring the requisite Windows services. Technical guidance has been thoroughly lab tested with Windows Server 2003 SP1, Red Hat Linux 9, and Sun Microsystems Solaris 9.
