Active Directory authentication in Ubuntu
Submitted by madvip on Fri, 06/20/2008 - 07:29.This article will explain how to log inside a Linux box using Windows Domain credentials. This is especially useful in an enterprise environment. I am assuming that my windows username is james.attard and the domain is called ACME. First of all we install Likewise-Open:
james@madvip.net:~$ sudo apt-get install likewise-open
Now we can try to join the domain ACME with a domain administrator account. I'm assuming that my windows username james.attard is part of the domain admins:
james@madvip.net:~$ sudo domainjoin-cli join ACME james.attard
