Is Linux has active directory type tool?


Hi all

I have question that Windows server's active directory has opentions to configure user, give them rights manage the OU etc.
Is this Linux Server has the same feature. If yes whats the tool it provide and how it works. And also if this type of tool is available why they are not popular.

Active Directory is based on ldap. You can install openldap. There are ldap clients available as well. Just explore your package system. The Samba documentation has information on using ldap with samba. For some distros like OpenSuSE, you can use an ldap source for authentication when you log into the computer.
