Hello everyone, As part of my traineeship, i have been asked to deploy a solution to unify logins between Windows NT (and perhaps 2000 in the near future), Solaris 8 and GNU/Linux stations. Solaris stations are already running with a pam_ldap authentication with a OpenLDAP server. GNU/Linux are to be installed within the next monthes and this should not be a problem with PAM (Linux distrib is a "customized" Debian). Here comes the matter : What are the solutions (secure preferably) to authenticate students (did i forgot to tell this is an university ?) on NT stations using the same password than Unix one ? Storing information in the LDAP server is not a problem, and this is a "MUST", but how to sync the passwords ? I have though about using GINA to encrypt teh NT password myself, but i am not sure about it being realistic. Do you know any doc or people having synced passwords between Unix and NT with an LDAP server to store information ? Antother solution that just get through my mind would be to use another authentication thechnology like Kerberos on all the stations. Is it possible ? Thank you for your time, please note that i am ready to code and patch anything, so this shouldn't be a restriction.
