Fedora + Active Directory

[Joe "ascenseur" O'Dell]

Hi All,

A user asked me if it was possible to set up Fedora as a file server and have it integrate with MS Active Directory (and it's a school, so it has to be AD-comptabile, unfortunately!).

The file server bit is absolutely fine, I've given him a hand with all of that, it's just the AD integration bit; can anyone advise?

Regards,

Joe

The 389 directory server is too much in this case. It is for managing
all kinds of authentications (one of them active directory), but here
the file server just needs to be part of an already existing active
directory. This is easy, it can be configured with authconfig(-gtk).

Joe, try this HowTo:
http://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Samba_%26_Active_Directory
It deals with RHEL, so it also applies to Fedora.
