If possible, the linux servers should support pam authentication (default
linux security authentication) which means they can also support microsoft
active directory once the linux machine is setup correctly (simple install).
My concern is the length of the user identifiers - if the users have a
active directory login such as "DISTRIBUTEL_CORP\DALTON.CALFORD" (domain of
distributel_corp plus user name) you run into problems when you have users
with names longer than mine.
This is not just a linux issue, it is a windows authentication issue.
Then when you use extended character sets such as UTF8 due to language
issues, then you really start to encounter problems.
User identifiers, sql object names etc all need to be expanded to a more
reasonable length for this day and age.
best regards
