Hello, I maintain a network of numerous Linux workstations, several Apples, and a few Windows machines. The Apples and Windows XP machines already grab shared data via Samba and the remaining data is exported to the Linux machines via NFS.
I am in the process of migrating the existing authentication system from XYZ123 to Kerberos and going to place user data---with the exception of passwords into OpenLDAP. I am curious whether it is possible to have Samba authenticate against Kerberos as a password backend, particularly with the Heimdal implementation. I really am not much of a Windows guru and try to avoid the OS as much as possible; but I have gathered that from 2000 onwards it has supported Kerberos V for authentication. Would this mean that the winbind backend could be used to talk to the Kerberos server? I really want to avoid having to write any custom scripts or wrappers to synchronize passwords between Samba and Kerberos. What are everybody's thoughts?
