I use Likewise Enterprise to provide AD integration
So I'm looking at alternate ways of authenticating against Win2k8r2. I was hoping to get some input from the list regarding this.
Why not bypass Likewise?
If another windows server is able to join the domain directly, then a Linux machine with samba can surely join the same domain without needing Likewise or some other third-party integration tool.
Yeah, the thought had occurred to me. :-)
This would just mean turning up another server specifically for FR.
That shouldn't be a problem if you use virtualization (Xen/KVM/Virtualbox/Hyper-V/whatever). A small-medium instance (about 256M memory) should be enough.
I would also loose some of the management capabilities that Likewise provides. I was hoping to find another way before resorting to that.
IIRC you can also run IAS/NPS on Windows and setup FR to proxy request there. -- Fajar
