Hi,

In our network we have (also) one Windows Fileserver (Windows 2003 Server).
Everybody has an account on this computer for net-share purposes.

Now i would be very happy if I could include this server in our SSO
concept.

In UNIX, you can authenticate against almost everything via PAM: SQL, LDAP,
Kerberos, RADIUS, Windows-PDC, YP/NIS and much, much more.


Is there any possibility to authenticate the windows server against an LDAP
Server, or, much better, against a RADIUS server?
(or against an mySQL server over (my)ODBC)


User profiles should not be the problem, they should not be used and they
could be a default profile that are saved on the server itself.
Problem are usernames and passwords for SSO...

thank you in advance,

peter

Windows can use a RADIUS server, but you should be posting your question
in a server group. This one is for general questions about the XP
operating system. Here's a list of all the MS newsgroups, with a
general server one to start out:
