[brlug-general] LikeWise - Was: RE: Seen this? Run this?
Correct, it's not the same as using PAM. You should consider pam_ldap as a bare bones let's make it work but that's it solution. With LikeWise, Centrify, etc., you get a more powerful management layer. For example, with Centrify (and LikeWise may support this), I can set the same person to have different home directory locations based on the UNIX flavor (e.g., Sun, Mac OSX, Red Hat Linux) they are logging into, what group of servers (e.g., lab, accounting) it is, etc. You can't do that with pam_ldap. You just do authn and authz with pam_ldap. Also, at least with Centrify, you can support AD GPO's on Linux, UNIX, and Macs. --- Puryear IT, LLC - Baton Rouge, LA - http://www.puryear-it.com/ Active Directory Integration : Web Enterprise Single Sign-On Identity and Access Management : Linux/UNIX technologies Download our free ebook Best Practices for Linux and UNIX Servers http://www.puryear-it.com/pubs/linux-unix-best-practices/ -Original Message- From: general-boun...@brlug.net [mailto:general-boun...@brlug.net] On Behalf Of Brad Bendily Sent: Monday, January 25, 2010 1:18 PM To: general@brlug.net Subject: [brlug-general] Seen this?
