Having MAC OSx authenthicate against AD


Recommended Posts

Posted

Hey I have a question, there has been some talk here about getting iMACs, so

trying to stay one step ahead, and as much as I think Apple does a good job

with their OS's, they fall short when it comes to allowing seamless

intergration. The growing concern on my part is the Authenthication of

users. I know the work around is to change the AD schema so that

authenthicatino is not encrypted.. I was hoping to have an easier

workaround.

 

Any ideas?

I don't believe that more recent OS X versions require AD schema changes any

longer.

 

Apple provides a page with more information on this topic (along with

discussion group links) here:

You should be able to join 10.4.x and higher Mac clients to a W2K3 without

schema changes. Works pretty well actually.
