I'm interested in this. Sorry I didn't attend the last UDS. I can't seem to log into the wiki. Do I need permission for such?
I agree coming up with a preferred solution would be wonderful. The choices can be overwhelming. Some thoughts: - pam-ccreds/nss-updatedb - I find this introduced considerable lag into a system with < 500 users. - SSSD - I've run into trouble from what I suspect is not having the unix attributes in Active Directory. If I cared enough I could change this. All new versions of Windows Server support this right? Looks like SSSD wants to eventually support this. - Samba - Samba3 client works fine for me so far in a trial group. I want to try out Samba4 this summer both client and server. Of note a LOT of people have AD and with samba4 one doesn't need Microsoft's implementation. Something to watch is Zentyal. Their next version<http://www.zentyal.org/archives/2012/11/06/1117-tentative-zentyal-3-2-roadmap-published/>is supposed to have desktop client support. Edubuntu also has plans <http://edubuntu.org/2012-10-27/edubuntu-at-uds-r>for this. Needs I have and feel strongly about: - Folder redirection and friendlier mounts. As discussed<https://lists.launchpad.net/enterprise-ubuntu/msg00077.html>. Doesn't seem to be any solution. - First log in issues. Described in my blog<http://davidmburke.com/2012/04/26/ubuntu-12-04-deployment-with-active-directory/>. In short first log in in Ubuntu can fail if networking is not up. My work around (pingtest) is not ideal because if credentials are cached it's wasting time. It should be handled by pam. I think the ideal logic should be: Attempt log in (local, cached credentials, etc) If failed AND some network auth is present AND networking is not settled: display a friendly message with cancel button "Waiting for network connection" wait until networking succeeds or fails in connecting Best, David On Tue, May 21, 2013 at 10:40 AM, Bolesław Tokarski < boleslaw.tokar...@tieto.com> wrote: > Hello, > > I am trying to execute some of the points we started at the last physical > UDS > (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/**Enterprise/Needs<https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Enterprise/Needs>) > and took up the topic of authentication. > > I did some analysis of the open-source options there are and summarized it > in an email to the ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list ( > https://lists.ubuntu.com/**archives/ubuntu-devel-discuss/** > 2013-May/014518.html<https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel-discuss/2013-May/014518.html> > ) > > Is there anyone interested in discussing the topic?
