Hi all,

I'm familar with the concepts behind kerberos, but not with the actual
setup. I was wondering if anyone could let me know if the scenario I
have is possible, and if any one has any documentation on how to go
about it.

Where I work, we have recently converted to an Windows 2000 domain.
Along with a fair amount of Windows based servers, we have 10 or so
Sun servers running varying versions of Solaris (2.6, 7, 8). My goal
is to utilize the Windows 2000 domain controller(s) as KDC's for
authentication when logging on to the various Sun boxes, allowing one
username/password to be used for each user regardless of environment.

My first question is, is this possible. The next being will it include
everything from the *first* log on to the Solaris based boxes on
through, or will they need to log on two the Solaris systems with a
account listed in the local /etc/passwd files and then can utilize
Kerberos from there?

I have read a bunch of information on Kerberos including setting up a
Kerberos server and clients, but nothing that revolves around using a
2000 server as the KDC, at least, nothing that has been complete and
successful.

Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks

Shawn Foran
