nis + ldap?? that's completely redundant.. do you plan on having an NIS server look up its information in an ldap back end?

just have the hosts look up the info from the ldap directory directly.
You'll have the option of using ssl or tls in that configuration.

I'm still learning the real details of ldap, other than simply knowing it's a directory service and that some programs use it for directory searches.


are you still planning on kerberos integration?


Nothing is ruled out, but setting up a DNS is not a priority right now, as I'm told a DNS server (A and PTR records) is required.

Right now, I'm just looking to simply have a single user login and the same user home directory mounted and available for either platform (WinXP + Linux).

Continuing my single sign-on efforts, I'm adjusting things a bit -
incorporating NIS+Samba+LDAP on the server.

I found an Ubuntu-based document that gives step-by-step instructions for my
things, and seemed to work as I was adapting some of the items to RH/CentOS.
Its url is:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LDAP-Samba_PDC_(for_Linux_and_Windows)

There are other similar documents for other Unix variants, including FreeBSD.
Just search on http://localhost/phpldapadmin

One of the key items it mentions is http://phpldapadmin for complete web-based,
graphical management of ldap.   This, obviously sounds great, but I couldn't
find a similar document for CentOS/RHEL 5.  Fedora 1 is the closest.

It would be geat if someone could find one for a modern CentOS/RH distribution.

Thanks.

Scott
