Microsoft’s Active Directory system provides centralized user management and single sign-on. If you’re ready for a few manual steps, Linux can leverage this potential.
In many enterprises, Linux and Windows now live together in peace. Very often, heterogeneous networks rely on Windows-dominated office software and traditional Unix-style servers. The Active Directory service, which Microsoft introduced with Windows 2000 Server, is often used for centralized user information management.
Linux typically uses the legacy /etc/ passwd system or a distributed solution such as NIS or LDAP, but if you are willing to configure a number of freely available tools and components, you can easily integrate your Linux systems into the Active Directory infrastructure.
