Re: Windows SIngle Sign On - LINUX Server

Marcus' guide looks great.

So what's the pros/cons of using the Kerberos via GSSAPI method, rather than going for the SingleSignOn method
mentionedby Sunday?

In real world deployment, LDAP and Kerbero are often combined for authentication and authorization.

The link below is a well documented howto:

I'm not at all convinced by that. Active Directory functions as a
Kerberos KDC. Kerberos provides secure authentication and (unlike LDAP)
single sign-on.

Use Kerberos via GSSAPI. Here's a good starting point by Marcus:
