From: Nico De Ranter on

Actually I was just about to start using it. Guess I shouldn't?

I'm looking for a solution to integrate an existing linux environment
into a Windows AD environment. I already added all rc2307 info on the
AD server. Now I need a way for the linux systems to fetch the
username, uid, gif, shell and homedir from AD. Using LDAP directly is
not an option as I can't do anonymous binds so that would require a
hardcoded AD user and password on all systems (correct me if I'm wrong)
According to the man pages it looks like idmap_adex will do exactly what
I want. However I haven't been able to get it to work.

Will idmap_adex disappear (if so, I won't invest anymore time in it)?
Is there another way I can do this?

Nico

No it will not disappear at least until we merge the useful features in
the idmap_ad module. We just want to consolidate different modules into
1 supportable module, but not at the expense of cutting features users
depend on.

Simo.

The older "ad" idmap and nss backend is there.
(man idmap_ad)
This is also maintained.
I guess this would also suit your needs.

Hi,

Actually I am using the Backend Idmap_AD. I thought Idmap_adex is still under heavy development.

Judging by the man page and the comments I found on-line this will only
do uid/gid. I need to retrieve the shell and homedirectory from AD too.
