Seeking pointers to someone that can help with Debian + Active Directory LDAP integration

[Tom Buskey]

Not looking for a job, but I've done some with AD authentication on Solaris.

1st) Exchange will need AD
2nd) Linux/Solaris can hook into AD.

We used Centrify agents.  There's another product called Likewise.

IIRC, the free versions didn't preserve your uid or login name (I forget
which).  We were using Clearcase and needed both.

I think the Redhat/CentOS IPA/LDAP can integrate as well.  Solaris 10
didn't natively integrate all that well.

Where I am now, they use the AD NIS server to authenticate Linux.  IMO it's
not that great.  And NIS isn't that secure.
