Hi
can some please give me a solution for this

I have 2 servers one is red hat linux srever which has Mysql database and the other one is win2k srever which has Active Directory.

now I want the information inside the MySQL to authenticate the data inside the Active Directory and save it inside MySQL without changing anything inside the Active Directory because the MySQL DB is only for a specifice task and the Active Direcotry has the whole data of the company.

I hope someone got the idea and please share with me your knowledge

thank you very much

regards,

ken

Hello,

Does MySQL support PAM authentication? If so you can use the pam module from Samba's winbind - I highly recommend experimenting with this in a test environment first, though, it will take a little time and frustration if you haven't used it before. Supposedly you can also authenticate off of AD directly with Kerberos/LDAP, but I haven't had the time to do it myself.

Hope that helps,

thank u slacky for your reply....

I think it supports because my supervisor said we are going use samba. but I need more details about the subject and how to make the configration.

hope someone help

thank you very much for your time

I have my linux boxes configured to authenticate against AD (no local user accounts). I followed the instructions here. But I must admit, I had to do some tweeking to get this AD integration to work properly. Especially the kerberos->PAM part.

Thanks man I will go and try it out.

I have question:

can I do this process without using samba and just use LDAP?

because LDAP is much faster than samba, and How can I configure it?

thank you very much for your time gentlmen
