I often hear about the reluctance people have to installing Active Directory or to extend it in any way. In particular, people seem to have a real reluctance to expand the Active Directory schema. When I wrote about this problem recently (see link below), Dee Dee LaBruyere, Protocom Development Systems' perky marketing manager (Americas), dashed off a note that confirmed what others had been telling me, but which also offered a potential solution.

authentication

Unite your Linux and Active Directory
authentication 12/19/2004 03:46 PM
Authentication is easily one of the most critical services provided by your network infrastructure. It is the gatekeeper for every resource on your network. Workstations, applications, printers, and files would all be open to the world without a system of ensuring that only those people who need any given resource can gain access to it. Once you have accepted the fact that you need authentication, you must decide whether to stay with one network operating system in the interest of a completely homogenous network, or accept a "best of breed" system that will better fulfill your needs, even though it will complicate your environment. If you choose the second option, often times you are left with a management nightmare, where you have two, three, or even more authentication engines to maintain across your network operating systems.

Back in the day (back before there was broadband, son), telecommuting meant connecting from home to the office by dialing in over a modem to one of possibly, a bank of modems in the telecomm room at your workplace. Typically, this was accomplished at bit rates of 1200 or 2400 baud. As more and more people attempted to dial-in to the network and as directory-based authentication began to be seen in small and midsize businesses, a new protocol and standard was developed: the Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service.

Active Directory to ADAM Synchronizer
Beta 05/24/2004 02:15 PM
The feature will provide synchronization of data from AD to ADAM and keep the ADAM data consistent with the source AD data. Application administrators and developers can use a configuration file and a scriptable command line interface to specify a filtered and scoped subset of data to be pulled from AD to ADAM. There will be no data written back to AD and the objects and values in ADAM are not “transformed” in any way. Object or attribute based evaluation rules cannot be implemented and all values from the source AD are authoritative so while the target ADAM app may extend the data, any shared data will be overwritten with AD data values.
