Ldap Server Active Directory Integration On Server
We are looking to primarily use LDAP as a means of authentication throughout our environment consisting of both Linux and Windows boxes. I would like to know if there is a way to use our existing LDAP server to authenticate users on the Windows machines using AD?
Hello All I have setup Active Directory integration with. However if I do a LDAP browse on the 'LDAP server' which I have. Now integration with Active Directory. LDAP Server Integration. Multiple types and sources of directory servers can be synchronized with the system at any one time. Among the several LDAP servers supported.
This would obviously greatly help from an engineering/administrative standpoint to just have one centralized location for user admin. As of now, we setup a user in LDAP, but that does not touch our Windows machines so we then have to create Domain users in AD. Just would like to simplify the process and allow for work on more important things.I have stumbled upon adLDAP, which seems to be a great starting point. If you're looking to use your existing LDAP as your primary (sole) directory and ditch AD, then Evan Anderson's response is spot on. If you're willing to ditch your existing LDAP and base everything out of Active Directory, then that should be possible.
Anything that currently authenticates against your non-AD ldap should be able to authenticate against AD, thanks to ldap interface that AD exposes. Of course, if you're using LDAP for other things (not just authentication) then you may run into issues unless you can get AD to support those functions as well (by applying the necessary schemas, etc.) As for adLDAP, I've never used it, but a quick look at the link you provided looks like it's simply a client library for talking to AD. From the standpoint of consolidating to one directory, I don't think it helps you. However, it could potentially make keeping separate directories easier.
For example, if you could modify your LDAP user-management software to make back-end calls to the AD (via adLDAP), then you could make it so that adding a user to LDAP automatically adds a user to AD, etc.
Hello, We currently have an LDAP server on a linux box and are looking to migrate or re-configure an LDAP server to a windows server (preferably 2012). Can someone point me in the right direction or offer any suggestions on the best way to configure an LDAP server on a windows server 2012 Active Directory server?
I've been looking around and I've only been able to find third party software alternatives. I would prefer to use something that windows already has built-in if possible. Rmvb hong kong drama.
Otherwise, which is the best LDAP software I should use? Microsoft recommends to never install anything on a DC, it should only be used for Directory Services. As far as using LDAP, there is the free software Active Directory Lightweight Directory Services (AD LDS).
