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.
