Thanks Nathan.

I found some old threads discussing the same issue.

https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-directory-users/2006-November/msg00301.html

Question1: Do I still need PassSync.msi installed on the Win server?
No.

Question2: How does this work exactly? This is what I understand: Any user who log on, the query first goes to FDS and then PTA-plugin quries the AD.
PAM passthrough works via pam - similarly to how OpenLDAP goes through saslauthd - so if you have some PAM module that can auth against AD (except LDAP which probably won't work) you can configure PAM passthrough to pass the auth to that PAM module, then to AD

Question3: What is exactly AD Chaining? I get the literal meaning that, AD is a symlink to the ldap DB on the FDS. I would like to know clear distinction between the two. (AD Chaining and Pass-thru)
With chaining, you have _no_ local data in the directory server - all of the data is pulled from AD. With PAM passthrough, just the _auth_ is done against AD - you still have to have the local data in the directory server

I am sorry, if I am repeating any questions. I am new to unix and learning on my own.

Thank you so much, your help is greatly appreciated.
