Dear gentleman, I have managed to get my windows XP dekstop supporting kerberos authentication. Within the logon interface, i select my kerberos realm domain and authentication is performed through it.
Right now i am planning to incorporate this standalone box in a samba domain. Since samba provides a domain by its own, i do not know how retrieve only user information from the samba server and still authenticating through kerberos. Because in order to do so, i am required to select the samba domain within the logon interface. I would like a windows environment much like the unix system can have the centralized user information managed by nis, but authentication performed by a kerberos server. Is it possible? Thanks in advance.
