SN#19804 How to Use Kerberos in the Authenticvation of a Solaris 10 OS LDAP Client

SYSTEM NEWS FOR SUN USERS
Vol 122 Issue 4 2008-04-21 Article 19804 from section "BigAdmin"

Employs Microsoft Active Directory

Wajih Ahmed and Babak Kenkre have written a BigAdmin feature on
"Using Kerberos to Authenticate a Solaris 10 OS LDAP Client With
Microsoft Active Directory," which describes how to configure a
Solaris OS client to use Microsoft Windows Server 2003 R2 Enterprise
Edition (Active Directory) for authentication and naming services. In
this treatment, the Solaris client uses per-user authentication (also
called self-credentials) for naming service lookups instead of a
proxy account, a new functionality available starting with the
Solaris 10 08/07 OS.
