How to set up Active Directory
Authored by: tipster on Nov 14, '03 10:05:19PM

It's unfair to suggest it's given us nothing new that you couldn't do under LDAP under Jaguar.

The fact that you can bind to the AD domain is a huge step forward -- this isn't just about getting people to log onto a Mac, but about Mac's *participating* in the Active Directory.

Jaguar's AD support, using Samba 3, also gives users the ability to move around the windows domain as an authenticated user. They don't need to re-enter their username/password everytime they want to access a server they have permission to. This is also a huge step forward.

Caching the users logon is also a godsend, and I don't believe Jaguar gave you that ability. Laptop users really benefit from this, with one sign on -- whether they're on the network or not.
