Fedora directory users - Nov 2007 - authenticating windows against directory server

Hi,

I am currently evaluating a Directory Server product. One of the 
requirements we have is to authenticate windows servers to it. I have 
had a look through the documentation on the web page and can see how we 
can synchronise AD with FDS. I am wondering if its possible to 
authenticate windows servers (2003 R2) directly to FDS.

Any additional information would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,

Jimmy

Hi

Authenticating Windows  against directory server, Do you mean that you want
to login on Windows machine using user created on Fedora Directory Server,

If so you also need to configure samba and fedora Directory Server .

Hi,

That is correct, I would like to authenticate to Windows 2k3 R2 systems 
using an account in Fedora Directory Server (or Redhat DS).

James
